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 [...]
Reducing hydration-linked events in nursing home residents.
The authors used a quasi-experimental treatment and control group design with 49 participants from four nursing homes to test the effectiveness of an 8-week hydration intervention in reducing hydration-linked events (HLEs). A Kaplan Meier survival [...]
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 induced by bowel preparation in older adults does not result in cognitive dysfunction.
BACKGROUND: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction occurs in a proportion of patients after noncardiac surgery. Older patients are particularly vulnerable. We hypothesized that dehydration, a common perioperative problem in the elderly, may provoke cognitive dysfunction. We used [...]
