Hydration status and water turnover of dogsled drivers during an endurance sled dog event in the arctic.
BJECTIVES: To determine changes in common urinary markers of hydration maintained by the drivers (mushers) during a wilderness endurance event in the arctic and to determine water turnover in this select group of individuals. STUDY [...]
Strategies for hydration and energy provision during soccer-specific exercise.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of manipulating the provision of sports drink during soccer-specific exercise on metabolism and performance. Soccer players (N = 12) performed a soccer-specific protocol on [...]
Accuracy of urine specific gravity and osmolality as indicators of hydration status.
To reduce the adverse consequences of exertion-related and acute intentional dehydration research has focused on monitoring hydration status. This investigation: 1) compared sensitivity of urine specific gravity (Usg), urine osmolality (U(osm)) and a criterion measurement [...]
Plasma volume changes during and after acute variations of body hydration level in humans.
This study examined plasma volume changes (deltaPV) in humans during periods with or without changes in body hydration: exercise-induced dehydration, heat-induced dehydration and glycerol hyperhydration. Repeated measurements of plasma volume were made after two injections [...]
