Tennis
Tennis matches can last several hours in direct sun. Players lose 1-2.5 litres of sweat per hour, and dehydration severely impairs serve accuracy and footwork.

Soccer
Soccer players cover 10-13 kilometres per match, losing substantial fluid through sustained running. Half-time is often the only hydration opportunity during play.

American Football
Football players wear heavy protective gear that traps heat and increases sweating. The combination of pads, helmets, and intense exertion creates extreme dehydration risk.

Baseball
Baseball involves long periods in the sun with bursts of intense activity. Pitchers and catchers are especially vulnerable to dehydration during multi-hour games.
