The hydration profile of female cricket players during competition.
This study investigated the hydration profile of high-performance female cricket players competing at a national tournament. The profile comprised hydration monitoring (n=18) and a questionnaire (n=20). Our objectives were to 1) advance the understanding of [...]
Errors in the estimation of hydration status from changes in body mass.
Hydration status is not easily measured, but acute changes in hydration status are often estimated from body mass change. Changes in body mass are also often used as a proxy measure for sweat losses. There [...]
Influence of hydration status on thermoregulation and cycling hill climbing.
creasing the power-to-mass ratio. This study examined the effects of a reduction in body mass attributable to unreplaced sweat losses on simulated cycling hill-climbing performance in the heat. METHODS: Eight well-trained male cyclists (mean +/- [...]
The influence of water versus carbohydrate-electrolyte hydration on blood components during a 16-km military march.
The purpose of this study was to identify and to compare the effects of ingesting liquids during a 16-km military march under moderate environmental conditions. Twenty-six volunteer male subjects were randomly divided into two groups. [...]
