ELECTROLYTE AND PLASMA CHANGES AFTER INGESTION OF PICKLE JUICE, WATER, AND A COMMON CARBOHYDRATE-ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION
Context:nHealth care professionals advocate that athletes who are susceptible to exercise-associated muscle cramps (EAMCs) should moderately increase their fluid and electrolyte intake by drinking sport drinks. Some clinicians have also claimed drinking small volumes of [...]
EXERCISE-ASSOCIATED HYPONATREMIA
Disorders of serum sodium occur commonly in athletes participating in endurance sports. The most life-threatening of these is hyponatremia, which can occur in as many as 2% to 7% of participants. Exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) is [...]
EXPANDED PREDICTION EQUATIONS OF HUMAN SWEAT LOSS AND WATER NEEDS
The Institute of Medicine expressed a need for improved sweating rate (msw) prediction models that calculate hourly and daily water needs based on metabolic rate, clothing, and environment. More than 25 years ago, the original [...]
FITNESS ALTERS FLUID REGULATORY BUT NOT BEHAVIOURAL RESPONSES TO HYPOHYDRATED EXERCISE
