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 [...]
American College of Sports Medicine position stand. Exercise and fluid replacement.
It is the position of the American College of Sports Medicine that adequate fluid replacement helps maintain hydration and, therefore, promotes the health, safety, and optimal physical performance of individuals participating in regular physical activity. [...]
Physiology of thirst and drinking: implication for nursing practice.
Thirst and drinking function to maintain body water balance and are basic to survival. Thirst is often associated with a dry unpleasant-tasting mouth and the feeling of a need to obtain water; it can result [...]
ASSESSMENT OF CHANGE IN HYDRATION IN WOMEN DURING PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM WITH BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE VECTORS.
OBJECTIVE: This study tested the hypothesis that bioelectrical impedance vectors, group and individual, are valid indicators of total body water (TBW) and hydration status in women experiencing fluid gain and loss during and after pregnancy. [...]
