| Abstract | Dehydration, a common issue during games and training, can impair both physiological and cognitive functions. The hot outdoor environment and prolonged high-intensity activity of football demand both physical endurance and effective decision-making for successful skill execution. Specifically, the penalty kick shootout is a defining event that is a decisive factor for a game. In this study, the effects of hydration on kicking accuracy in a penalty kick is investigated. It examines how hypohydrated and euhydrated states influence a player's ability to execute the penalty kick, with particular emphasis on the cognitive and tactical aspects of target shooting performance. Before the experiment, baseline euhydrated weight was collected for 3 consecutive days indicated by a Urine Specific Gravity of < 1.025. After establishing baseline, weights were calculated with baseline weight as EUT , and DET body weight (BW) reduced by 2-3% for water weight loss. In the experiment proper, participants weighed in, submitted first morning urine samples, and recorded blood pressure as preliminary measures. When their hydration state and weights are qualified for the hydration trial, participants went through a general warm up, then proceeded to make 15 penalty kicks following a sequential target order. For statistical significance, data was expressed in mean and standard deviation and was run through a repeated measures t-test with significance level (p < 0.05). Results showed a significant difference (p < 0.001), indicating an impairment of target shooting accuracy in dehydrated states as compared to hydrated states on female football players. |
