Water turnover in 458 American adults 40-79 yr of age.
Despite recent interest in water intake, few data are available on water metabolism in adults. To determine the average and range of usual water intake, urine output, and total body water, we administered 2H oxide [...]
Separate and combined influences of dehydration and hyperthermia on cardiovascular responses to exercise.
During endurance exercise in the heat athletes lose 1-21/h of fluid due to thermoregulatory sweating. The ensuing dehydration is accompanied by higher and faster increases in core temperature, which per se can cause fatigue. The [...]
