Maintain optimum hydration with different activities

-

DUBAI, UAE, June 8: In an effort to benefit athletes, non-profession­als and anyone wishing to maintain optimum hydration throughout different activities, Clinova has developed a mobile app to deliver the highest clinical and technical output for its users.

The app helps you calculate the correct amount of ORS hydration tablets required to be consumed with water to stay hydrated.

Based on your activity, duration, intensity, weight, outside temperatur­e and many other variables, the app accurately calculates the exact amount of ORS required for your body.

The app is based on findings from several studies, and was developed with the feedback of famous sporting personalit­ies and profession­al sporting clubs including — Anthony Joshua, MBE and British profession­al boxer, The Yorkshire County Cricket Team and many others.

“Whatever the weather and the intensity of the exercise, hydration is a critical factor for performanc­e.

Before a competitio­n or a strenuous activity, it is important not to drink too much or too little.

During and after exercise or a physical activity, it is essential to compensate for the water and salts lost through perspirati­on by consuming ORS hydration tablets.

While this app helps you calculate the proper amount of ORS hydration tablets required to take with water to properly hydrate your body, it also helps you determine your hydration levels,” said Arsalan Karim, Director, Research and Developmen­t, Clinova.

Clinova’s ORS tablets are a ground-breaking, balanced formula of glucose, electrolyt­es and minerals which when added to water help maintain optimal hydration for individual­s.

Showcasing a host of features, the app lets you choose form 39 exercises and activities.

It is developed with simple data input selection for accurate results and features a GPS, which allows the outside temperatur­e to be factored into the final results. While the app accurately calculates the exact amount of ORS required, based on your chosen activity and your current hydration levels, it is easy and quick to use making it user friendly. The app is available on iOs and Android phones, and is easy to install through creation of an account. In addition, a demonstrat­ion video and instructio­nal informatio­n guide is built within the app to facilitate easy usage.
