Human water needs.
Healthy humans regulate daily water balance remarkably well across their lifespan despite changes in biological development and exposure to stressors on hydration status. Acute or chronic body water deficits result when intakes are reduced or [...]

Effect of hydration status on high-intensity rowing performance and immune function.
PURPOSE: This study determined the effect of dehydration and rehydration (DR) on performance, immune cell response, and tympanic temperature after high-intensity rowing exercise. METHODS: Seven oarswomen completed two simulated 2000-m rowing race trials separated by [...]
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 [...]
