THE EFFECTS OF CONSUMING CARBOHYDRATE-ELECTROLYTE BEVERAGES ON GASTRIC EMPTYING AND FLUID ABSORPTION DURING AND FOLLOWING EXERCISE
A variety of beverages formulated to provide fluid, carbohydrates, and electrolytes during and following exercise are commercially available. Such 'sport drinks' commonly contain 4 to 8% carbohydrate (as glucose, fructose, sucrose or maltodextrins) and small [...]
COMPARISON OF WATER TURNOVER RATES IN MEN UNDERTAKING PROLONGED CYCLING EXERCISE AND SEDENTARY MEN
Total body water (TBW) and water turnover rates (WTR) of six competitive male cyclists (CG) and six age-matched sedentary men (SG) were determined using deuterium oxide dilution and elimination. During the 7 day study, individuals [...]
EFFECT OF HYPOHYDRATION ON GASTRIC EMPTYING AND INTESTINAL ABSORPTION DURING EXERCISE
Dehydration and hyperthermia may impair gastric emptying (GE) during exercise; the effect of these alterations on intestinal water flux (WF) is unknown. Thus the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of hypohydration [...]
