COMPARISON OF FLUID BALANCE BETWEEN COMPETITIVE SWIMMERS AND LESS ACTIVE ADOLESCENTS.
The aim of this study was to compare daily hydration profiles of competitive adolescent swimmers and less active maturation- and sex-matched controls. Hydration profiles of 35 competitive adolescent swimmers (male n = 18, female n [...]
URINE OSMOLALITY AND CONDUCTIVITY AS INDICIES OF HYDRATION STATUS IN ATHLETES IN THE HEAT
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine a quick and easy method for assessment of day-to-day hydration status in athletes in the heat. METHODS: Measurement of the osmolality of the first urine sample [...]
THE HYDRATION INFLUENCE ON THE RISK OF STROKE (THIRST) STUDY
OBJECTIVE: There is a decreased sensation of thirst and often dehydration among the elderly population. It is unclear whether it represents a contributing factor for cerebral ischemic events. DESIGN: Consecutive patients presenting to a University [...]
RESPONSE TO A FLUID LOAD IN ATHLETES WITH A HISTORY OF EXERCISE INDUCED HYPONATREMIA
PURPOSE: To determine whether athletes who had previously developed hyponatremia during an ultradistance triathlon show an impaired ability to excrete a large fluid load compared with athletes who had completed the same race without developing [...]
