OBJECTIVE: To consider whether consumption of black tea has a positive or negative impact on health. DESIGN: Databases were searched for relevant epidemiological and clinical studies published between 1990 and 2004. RESULTS: Clear evidence was [...]
Blood pressure response to 1-month, electrolyte-carbohydrate beverage consumption.
There are many occupations where workers undergo daily exposure to rigorous environments, often with only limited access to fluids. Such conditions warrant the use of an electrolyte rehydration beverage; however, the long-term use of such [...]
Exercise associated hyponatraemia: quantitative analysis to understand the aetiology.
BACKGROUND: The development of symptomatic hyponatraemia consequent on participation in marathon and ultraendurance races has led to questions about its aetiology and prevention. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate: (a) the assertion that sweat sodium losses cannot contribute [...]
Core temperature and metabolic responses after carbohydrate intake during exercise at 30 degrees C.
