When Should An Athlete Get IV Therapy
What are the most appropriate times for athletes to schedule an IV therapy drip?
1. Following an Intense Event/Race/Game/Competition or Physical Activity
Sweating is extremely important for athletes, as it allows cooling of the body and redistributing heat. Through this process, electrolytes and water are both lost in sweat, and can lead to dehydration, despite attempts at preventative hydration. This process can also exhaust and athlete and lead to fatigue. Crossfit, football, soccer, outdoor running and cycling can all cause athletes to lose critical vitamins and minerals in addition to water. Water, electrolytes, and sports drinks can help replenish, but IV drips provide the comprehensive and efficient form of recover, through the bypassing of the digestive system providing 100% bioavailability.
2. Pre-Hydrating before an Event or Performance
IV drip therapy is the perfect solution for when complete hydration recovery is needed quickly. It is ideal before games/races/competitions, and can even help for athletes requiring a weigh in and cutting (such as weight lifting, wrestling, etc). It is also ideal as a prep for outdoor events in the Arizona and California heat which involve sweat and water loss. The fluids will help prevent dehydration and can provide the heart the preload it needs to optimally contract, supplying blood to tissues during high intensity exercise. The best time to rehydrate with an IV is immediately after you make weight, giving yourself the longest window to recover.
Is IV Therapy Legal For Athletes?
IV therapy is absolutely legal, but the regulations may change according to your events governing body. IV hydration is not allowed for WADA and USADA tested athletes, as well as athletes licensed under the boxing commission of Arizona, as they adopted the USADA standard. In many situations, IV drip therapy for athletes is allowed, but the amount which is able to be administered, and the timing in proximity to the event is regulated.
For example, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) divides its list of prohibited substances into three categories:
Prohibited at all times
Prohibited in-competition
Prohibited in particular sports
WADA usually has the most stringent standards for performance restrictions (IV therapy is allowed, but only in amounts of 100mL per 12-hour period. For comparison, our typical IV has 1000mL of IV fluid). An athlete should always check with their governing bodies to determine if there are any rules regarding IVs or specific medications/vitamins which are not approved in their sport.

Athletes demand a lot from their bodies for proper performance in competition. This requires proper preparation, not only in terms of practice and physical preparation, but also with nutrition and proper hydration before the event. IV therapy is an ideal solution for both pre-event preparation and post-fitness recovery, allowing athletes to receive the hydration and nutrients they need on their own schedule, at a time and location which is convenient for them.
