Fluid losses and hydration status of industrial workers under thermal stress working extended shifts.
AIMS: To assess whether workers under significant thermal stress necessarily dehydrated during their exposure and whether "involuntary dehydration" was inevitable, as supported by ISO 9866 and other authorities. Other objectives were to quantify sweat rates [...]
THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD HYDRATION FOR THE PREVENTION OF CHRONIC DISEASES.
There is increasing evidence that mild dehydration plays a role in the development of various morbidities. In this review, the effects of hydration status on chronic diseases are categorized according to the strength of the [...]
Molecular aspects of water transport.
Due to its fundamental importance, the movement of water across cell membranes has been an active area of research for more than 100 years. This subject is central to consideration of normal water metabolism by [...]
Hydration testing of athletes.
Dehydration not only reduces athletic performance, but also places athletes at risk of health problems and even death. For athletes, monitoring hydration has significant value in maximising performance during training and competition. It also offers [...]
