The effects of Ramadan intermittent fasting on athletic performance: Recommendations for the maintenance of physical fitness.

Abstract. The behavioural modifications that accompany Ramadan intermittent fasting (RIF) are usually associated with some alterations in the metabolic, physiological, and psychological responses of athletes that may affect sport performance. Muslim athletes who are required to train and/or compete during the month-long, diurnal fast must adopt coping strategies that allow them to maintain physical fitness [...]

Significant and serious dehydration does not affect skeletal muscle cramp threshold frequency.

OBJECTIVE: Many clinicians believe that exercise-associated muscle cramps (EAMC) occur because of dehydration. Experimental research supporting this theory is lacking. Mild hypohydration (3% body mass loss) does not alter threshold frequency (TF), a measure of cramp susceptibility, when fatigue and exercise intensity are controlled. No experimental research has examined TF following significant (3-5% body mass [...]

Drinking water is associated with weight loss in overweight dieting women independent of diet and activity.

BACKGROUND: Data from short-term experiments suggest thatÂ drinkingÂ waterÂ may promoteÂ weightÂ lossÂ by lowering total energy intake and/or altering metabolism. The long-term effects ofÂ drinkingÂ waterÂ on change in bodyÂ weightÂ and composition are unknown, however. OBJECTIVE: This study tested for associations between absolute and relative increases inÂ drinkingÂ waterÂ andÂ weightÂ lossÂ over 12 months. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Secondary analyses were conducted on data from the Stanford A TO ZÂ weightÂ lossÂ intervention [...]

Replacing sweetened caloric beverages with drinking water is associated with lowerenergy intake.

OBJECTIVE: ReducedÂ intakeÂ ofÂ sweetenedÂ caloricÂ beveragesÂ (SCBs) is recommended toÂ lowerÂ totalÂ energy intake.Â ReplacingSCBs with non-caloricÂ dietÂ beveragesÂ does not automaticallyÂ lowerÂ energy intake, however. Compensatory increases in other food orÂ beveragesÂ reportedly negate benefits of dietÂ beverages. The purpose of this study was to evaluateÂ drinking waterÂ as an alternative to SCBs. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Secondary analysis of data from the Stanford A TO Z intervention evaluated change in beverage pattern [...]

The altered fluid distribution in obesity may reflect plasma hypertonicity.

OBJECTIVE: This study explored whether the increased extracellular relative to intracellular fluid (ECF/ICF) ratio in obesity mightreflect osmotic effects of elevated plasma solute concentrations. DESIGN: Cross-sectional, epidemiological survey. SETTING AND SUBJECTS: The present analysis used nationally representative data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey on community-dwelling adults (aged 40-59 years) in the [...]

Hydration in Advanced Cancer: Can Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Improve the Evidence Base? A Systematic Review of the Literature.

CONTEXT: Decisions surrounding the administration of clinically assisted hydration to patients dying of cancer can be challenging because of the limited understanding of hydration in advanced cancer and a lack of evidence to guide health care professionals. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has been used to assess hydration in various patient groupings, but evidence for its [...]

A proposed method for assessing plasma hypertonicity in vivo

Indices ofÂ plasmaÂ hypertonicity, elevatedÂ plasmaÂ concentrations of solutes that draw fluid out of cells by osmosis, are needed to pursueÂ hypertonicityÂ as a possible risk factor for obesity and chronic disease. This paper proposes a new index that may be more sensitive to mildÂ hypertonicityÂ inÂ vivoÂ at a point in time than traditional measures. The index compares mean corpuscular volume (MCV) estimates from [...]

Origins for the estimations of water requirements in adults.

Water homeostasis generally occurs without conscious effort; however, estimating requirements can be necessary in settings such as health care. This review investigates the derivation of equations for estimating water requirements. Published literature was reviewed for water estimation equations and original papers sought. Equation origins were difficult to ascertain and original references were often not cited. [...]
