After completing a series of sprints with his basketball team, Hiro is sweating intensely and feels a cramp in his side. What will MOST likely help Hiro prevent this cramping in the future?

Sweating during intense exercise causes the body to lose water, and dehydration can contribute to muscle cramps. Drinking water before and after practice helps replace fluids and may reduce the chance of cramping. Resting or icing can help with recovery, but drinking more water best addresses fluid loss from sweating.
