Urine Color

The urine color chart [35] was implemented to the players before and after the preseason period. At both times, urine was collected in a clear container and compared by the same observer with urine color chart. In this scale, the score varies between 1 (lightest) and 8 (darkest). The color "yellow", "pale yellow", or "straw yellow" indicates euhydration, while "dark" represents hypohydration [35]. The scale was previously confirmed as valid [36] to assess hydration.
