I mean, I think there is a tendency for older adults to be sort of on the verge of dehydration. Sometimes the sense of thirst is a little bit diminished with ageing, because of changes in in the brain and the thirst centre. And so I think you don't need to overdo it and be carrying your every bottles. You know, with you on every run around the track, but I think, there is a need to maybe drink when you don't feel thirsty perhaps. Certainly, if you're on certain medications like diuretics that you could predispose you to dehydration, that might be, you know, even more of a worry. So, there isn't a need to overdo it, but I think just adequate nutrition before exercise is a good idea.

Printed "sadness", the speaker says "sense"

Explanation: Listen again to "the sense of thirst". Both words start with s, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "stadium", the speaker says "centre"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "the thirst centre". The two words start with different letters, so listen from the start.

Printed "plane", the speaker says "track"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "around the track". The printed and spoken words start with different letters, so listen to the first sound.

Printed "thirst", the speaker says "dehydration"

Explanation: The speaker says "predispose you to dehydration", not "thirst". The spoken word is much longer than "thirst", so hear the whole word.

Printed "weakness", the speaker says "worry"

Explanation: Listen for "even more of a worry". Both words start with w, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "oversight", the speaker says "overdo"

Explanation: You will hear "need to overdo it". They both start with o, but the printed word ends differently.

"ageing" matches the audio

Explanation: "diminished with ageing, because" may look odd to you, but the speaker says it exactly. Do not click it.

"diuretics" matches the audio

Explanation: "medications like diuretics that you" has a rare word, so it may trap you. The speaker says it exactly, do not click it.
