Development of individual hydration strategies for athletes.
Athletes are encouraged to begin exercise well hydrated and to consume sufficient amounts of appropriate fluids during exercise to limit water and salt deficits. Available evidence suggests that many athletes begin exercise already dehydrated to [...]
Conference on “Multidisciplinary approaches to nutritional problems”. Symposium on “Performance, exercise and health”. Hydration, fluids and performance.
Sweat evaporation can be a key thermoregulatory mechanism and it causes a loss of water from all compartments of the body. Hypohydration can also develop with restricted fluid intake or with intake of diuretics. Hypohydration [...]
The art and science of hydration.
It is understood that water is the most essential nutrient for life, yet research elucidating the fine points of hydration and fluid needs is still in its youth. Public recommendations based on scientific evidence are [...]
Effect of hydration state on resistance exercise-induced endocrine markers of anabolism, catabolism, and metabolism.
Hypohydration (decreased total body water) exacerbates the catabolic hormonal response to endurance exercise with unclear effects on anabolic hormones. Limited research exists that evaluates the effect of hypohydration on endocrine responses to resistance exercise; this [...]
