Dehydration is typically a lot more common and much less dramatic. A good example of dehydration is you...after you got up this morning. Dehydration is described as losing as little as 1-2% of body weight through a water loss. It can be due to excessive sweating, not drinking water for a couple of hours (e.g. sleeping), loss of blood, drinking alcohol or caffeinated drinks, vomiting, as well as diarrhea.

Although minor cases of dehydration don’t require hospitalization, a small amount of dehydration can have unwanted effects. Research indicates that losing just 2.5% of body weight via water deprivation can lead to poor training performance and also have harmful health implications.

Two studies focused on adults between 85 to 97 years old performed strength training and measured rate of falls before and during training.
 
One study, published in 2014, noticed an increase in balance and a lower rate of falling during 12 weeks of strength training when compared to the months prior to training. In a 2011 study, older adults who strength trained experienced an average of one fewer fall during the eight-week training period when compared to a control group that only performed stretching.
