A new study suggests wearable tech might finally close one of the biggest gaps in sports performance: accurate, real-time hydration tracking. 💧

This study tested an arm-worn hydration sensor that measures changes in muscle water in real time. When researchers compared its readings to actual body-water loss, the sensor tracked dehydration with remarkable accuracy—far better than existing whole-body lab devices.

🧠 “Imagine knowing exactly how much fluid you lost during a session—and how much to replace. Precision hydration could get a lot more precise.”
— Rowan Minnion, Exercise Physiologist, Blonyx Founder & CEO

📖 Jankovic et al., 2025 — Wireless arm-worn bioimpedance sensor for continuous assessment of whole-body hydration.

Hydrating based on thirst sounds intuitive—but by the time you feel thirsty, dehydration has already started.

As fluid levels drop, electricity moves through muscle tissue differently.
Conductivity decreases. Impedance rises.

Researchers recently tested whether an arm-worn bioimpedance sensor could track those changes in real time.
It did—with over 95% accuracy, closely matching true changes in body water during exercise and fasting.
The sensor was also consistent, reliably detecting small hydration shifts across repeated tests.

While this technology isn't in your smartwatch yet, tracking physiological signals could help athletes replace fluid before performance drops—not after.

Long flights, missed meals, and fatigue don’t have to derail your training. ✈️

Blonyx athletes share their go-to travel strategies, including:

MINIMIZE CHANGE. "Travelling can be stressful, and changes can contribute to injuries and sickness. If possible, bring individually packed single-servings of your supplements to keep routines familiar.” —@ dynasty_wyatt

AVOID ACCIDENTS. “ Top Up 100 gels were tricky, I stuffed them into my water bottles to avoid compression or spillage in case any exploded—I could not fathom everything being BEET colour if it exploded lol.” —

HYDRATE. ““Plane travel often leads to dehydration, which impairs performance and increases illness risk. I always carry some Blonyx Hydra+ as this helps me get natural electrolytes that keeps me hydrated on travel days. In addition to that, I carry my Blonyx Multivit+ and HMB+ Creatine in my carry-on to make sure I keep taking those with no interruptions for the maximum benefit.” —

When a Timeout Helps… and When It Hurts Your Performance

Faster scoring and better decision-making come from a team finding its rhythm—and keeping it. A poorly timed pause can break that flow.

Researchers analysed 4,000+ timeouts across 1,200+ pro basketball games to see how a short stoppage affects scoring and momentum. 🏀

Here’s what they found:

🔥 Timeouts help when you’re behind.
Pausing disrupts the opponent’s run and gives players a tactical and psychological reset.

⚠️ Timeouts hurt when you’re ahead.
Teams on a scoring run often came back worse after calling a timeout. Stopping play interrupted the momentum, confidence, and coordinated actions driving their run.

⏱️ Most effective in regular periods, not the final 5 minutes.
Late-game timeouts—especially shorter ones—didn’t shift momentum as much as earlier ones.

📉 More effective against weaker opponents.
Against evenly matched teams, momentum is harder to break.

What this means for athletes & coaches:
If your team is doing well, keep the momentum going, but, if the other team is ahead, a well-timed timeout can break their run and flip control back to you.

Our Story

Blonyx was founded in 2011 by Rowan Minnion, a soccer player and biomedical scientist from the UK. Rowan spent much of his career researching sports nutrition products and observing their potential to help athletes achieve their athletic ambition. His work also led him to discover how misaligned the industry is with science.

The reason this misalignment exists is that there is little regulation in sports nutrition to protect athletes. The market has become saturated with products with no scientific evidence and sold using questionable marketing practices. The importance of making money has been put above helping those achieve their athletic ambition.

Rowan founded Blonyx to create the sports nutrition brand he wished existed: One that sold products that were kept simple so he could understand them, grounded in science so he knew they worked and were the best quality money could buy. In short, a brand that he would trust to help him on his athletic journey.

At Blonyx we share a vision of a sports nutrition industry that is simple, grounded in science, and marketed with integrity. Our purpose is to help as many athletes as possible achieve their athletic ambition.
