OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of dehydration, by using the indices of prerenal azotemia and orthostasis, on the rehabilitation outcomes of elderly orthopedic patients. DESIGN: Prospective, pilot study. SETTING: Regional inpatient rehabilitation center. PARTICIPANTS: A [...]
Effects of carbohydrate-electrolyte content of beverages on voluntary hydration in a simulated industrial environment.
This study examined the effects of ingesting beverages of varying electrolyte-carbohydrate (ECHO) composition on hydration, sensory response, physiological function, and work performance during 4 hours of simulated industrial work for subjects wearing impermeable protective clothing [...]
Dehydration rates and rehydration efficacy of water and sports drink during one hour of moderate intensity exercise in well-trained flatwater kayakers
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study is to investigate the amount of water loss and percentage dehydration experienced during 1 hour of paddling on the kayak ergometer so as to help coaches and athletes tailor [...]
