Rehydration after exercise in the heat: a comparison of 4 commonly used drinks.
To determine the effectiveness of 3 commonly used beverages in restoring fluid and electrolyte balance, 8 volunteers dehydrated by 1.94% +/- 0.17% of body mass by intermittent exercise in the heat, then ingested a carbohydrate-electrolyte [...]
Water balance, hydration status, and fat-free mass hydration in younger and older adults.
BACKGROUND: Older adults are at increased risk of dehydration, yet water balance is understudied in this population. OBJECTIVE: This controlled diet study assessed the effect of age on water input, output, and balance in healthy [...]
CRITERIA FOR MEASUREMENT OF DEHYDRATION.
This Position Stand provides guidance on fluid replacement to sustain appropriate hydration of individuals performing physical activity. The goal of prehydrating is to start the activity euhydrated and with normal plasma electrolyte levels. Prehydrating with [...]
