Urine color, osmolality and specific electrical conductance are not accurate measures of hydration status during postexercise rehydration.
BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to determine whether urine color, osmolality and specific electrical conductance (SEC) provide an accurate index of hydration status and of fluid requirements during the recovery phase after an [...]
Evaluation of different levels of hydration using a new physiological strain index
A physiological strain index (PSI), based on rectal temperature (Tre) and heart rate (HR), was recently suggested for evaluating heat stress. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the PSI for different combinations of [...]
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 [...]
Acute pancreatitis secondary to dehydration: case report and review of the literature.
Recent reports have documented the potentially catastrophic consequences of dehydration induced by vigorous exercise in otherwise healthy individuals. A case of acute pancreatitis secondary to exercise-induced dehydration is presented, and the literature of dehydration-induced syndromes, [...]
