Introduction. Adequate hydration is central to human life. For decades, there have been studies on sports, gender, age groups. Notwithstanding, there is little information about hydration in American football players.

Objective: Assess hydration status and the causes related to dehydration status due to the position of the players in American football.

Material and methods. Through an observational study, prospective and comparative, 24 American football players were studied, all with at least a 2.5 years-practice, and asked about their fluid replacement habits, physical exploration, and aerobic performance. There were made analysis of variance on each of the variables with post hoc, at an Alpha level of 95%.

Results. 60% of the participants showed dehydration status, and it was different (statistically meaningful, p<0.05) per weight and game position.

Conclusion: The data from this study show the need to delve into hydration status per game position and to develop new assessment methods to issue specific recommendations per game position and corporeality.
