摘要：Introduction: Rugby is a rising sport in Brazil, however there are few academic studies about athletes of this sport, particularly the risk of dehydration and hyperthermia. During a game there are few interruptions that provide an opportunity for intervention to fluid replacement, which may lead athletes to a state of dehydration and thermoregulatory inefficient. Purpose: To evaluate, during training, the degree of dehydration of a high-level competitive Brazilian rugby team to design strategies to combat the harmful effects of dehydration and hyperthermia. Methodology: 23 male athletes participate the test. It was performed tetrapolar bioimpedance tests, obtaining the following variables before and after 90 minutes of training without water intake: body mass (BM: kg), height (m) and percentage of total body fat (%BF). It was calculated the sweat rate (SR) and percentage of water loss (%WL) as positioning of the ACSM (2007). It was performed paired t-test (p
