Drink composition, voluntary drinking, and fluid balance in exercising, trained, heat-acclimatized boys.
This study examined the effects of beverage composition on the voluntary drinking pattern, body fluid balance, and thermoregulation of heat-acclimatized trained boys exercising intermittently in outdoor conditions (wet bulb globe temperature 30.4 +/- 1.0 degreesC). [...]
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 [...]
IMMEDIATE POSTOPERATIVE ORAL HYDRATION AFTER CAESAREAN SECTION.
A study was carried out to assess the effects of immediate postoperative oral rehydration in 51 unpremedicated women undergoing caesarean section under epidural anesthesia. The patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups: group 1 (n [...]
Effective fluid replacement.
As a result of exercise-induced sweating, athletes and trained individuals can lose up to 3 L of fluid per hour. Fluid replacement is required to maintain hydration and allow the athlete to continue to perform. [...]
