Yes, one of the few areas where there is a significant amount of research on the importance of optimal hydration is for sports performance and recovery. Preparing for any exertion by pre-loading with fluid, maintaining proper fluid intake during exercise and replenishing lost fluid after exercise have all been shown to maximize performance and optimize recovery.
