Water intake and post-exercise cognitive performance: an observational study of long-distance walkers and runners.

PURPOSE: The impact of diet on endurance performance and cognitive function has been extensively researched in controlled settings, but there are limited observational data in field situations. This study examines relationships between nutrient intake and cognitive function following endurance exercise amongst a group of 33 recreational runners and walkers. METHODS: All participants (mean age of [...]
