Effect of hydration on plasma vasopressin, renin, and aldosterone responses to head-up tilt.
If plasma vasopressin (PVP), plasma renin (PRA), and plasma aldosterone (PA) responses to change in posture are mediated only by alterations in intrathoracic baroreceptor activity, hydration status should have minimal influence on these responses. To [...]
Hydration and muscular performance: does fluid balance affect strength, power and high-intensity endurance?
Significant scientific evidence documents the deleterious effects of hypohydration (reduced total body water) on endurance exercise performance; however, the influence of hypohydration on muscular strength, power and high-intensity endurance (maximal activities lasting >30 seconds but
Effect of hydration on some orthostatic and haematological responses to head-up tilt.
Experiments were undertaken to determine the effects of hydration status on a) orthostatic responses, and on b), relative changes in intravascular volume and protein content, during 70 degrees head-up tilt (HUT). Six men underwent 45 [...]
Nutrition and hydration concerns of the female football player.
There is little information on the nutritional habits of female football players at any level of the game. There is also a shortage of information on the nutrition and hydration strategies that players should adopt. [...]
