Hydration effects on temperature regulation
During exercise in the heat, sweat output often exceeds water intake which results in a body water deficit (hypohydration) and electrolyte losses. Daily water losses can be substantial and persons need to emphasize drinking during [...]
Hydration in the marathon : using thirst to gauge safe fluid replacement.
Early human ancestors evolved hunting in the midday heat on the dry African savannah and developed favourable biological adaptations that permit prolonged running in the heat. These physiological adaptations must have included the capacity to [...]
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 [...]
