Brief Summary

New knowledge regarding the negative impact of poor hydration on health highlights the need to provide recent epidemiological data on the water intake of the French population, especially among middle school students, a group that has been minimally studied until now. Given the crucial role of adequate hydration in sports performance, it is essential to assess fluid intake and hydration habits among middle school students, who often engage in intense physical activities. The primary outcome of this study is to evaluate whether the proportion of middle school students hydrating adequately according to current recommendations is higher among those engaging in moderate to intense sports compared to those who do little or no sports. The goal is to determine if daily fluid intake is significantly influenced by physical activity among this population. To achieve this, investigators have developed a questionnaire to gather information on the physical activity levels of middle school students, their daily hydration habits, and their liquid intake in relation to their sports activities, using appropriate visuals. This study involves distributing the questionnaire in two middle schools in Brittany between November 2023 and January 2024.
