Episode 48: Why Hydration Testing is Not the Solution to Weight Cutting
from TFD Performance Podcast Hosted by Jordan Sullivan
Today I am joined by TFD Senior Performance Dietitian, Jack Doherty, and we are discussing ONE Championship and its unique weigh-in protocol. This past weekend there were 9 athletes who missed weight, hydration or both for ONE’s debut show on Amazon Prime. I have spoken about this at length in the past, but Jack actually had one of our TFD athletes who successfully weighed in and passed all protocols and ended up getting a very good win. We will discuss our thoughts on the weigh-in protocol, why we don’t particularly like it, why it is potentially dangerous, and give examples of systems that we think work much better.
