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 [...]
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 [...]
