Nutrition and hydration concerns of the female football player.

There is little information on the nutritional habits of female football players at any level of the game. There is also a shortage of information on the nutrition and hydration strategies that players should adopt. In general, differences in nutritional needs between males and females are smaller than differences between individuals, so that principles developed [...]

Hydration effects on temperature regulation

During exercise in the heat, sweat output often exceeds water intake which results in a body water deficit (hypohydration) and electrolyte losses. Daily water losses can be substantial and persons need to emphasize drinking during exercise as well as at mealtime. Aerobic exercise tasks are likely to be adversely affected by heat stress and hypohydration; [...]

Effect of environments on human functions: studies on water metabolism.

The purpose of this review is to study general behaviour of human systems with respect to the environmental conditions. This type of work will be of profound significance to record the effect of medical treatment in various climatic zones of the world (Arayne and Saify, 1975). We attempted to discuss various facts which would be [...]

Control of thermoregulatory sweating is altered by hydration level and exercise intensity.

The purpose of this study was to examine the thermoregulatory sweating control parameters of threshold temperature and sensitivity to determine whether 1) these variables were altered by hypohydration level and exercise intensity and 2) these alterations, if present, were additive and independent. Nine heat-acclimated men completed a matrix of nine trials: three exercise intensities of [...]

Influence of hydration level and body fluids on exercise performance in the heat.

During exercise in the heat, sweat output often exceeds water intake, resulting in hypohydration, which is defined as a body fluid deficit. This fluid deficit is comprised of water loss from both the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments. Hypohydration during exercise causes a greater heat storage and reduces endurance in comparison with euhydration levels. The [...]

Effects of hydration state and resistance exercise on markers of muscle damage.

It is well established that resistance exercise can damage muscle tissue, but the combined effects of hypohydration and resistance exercise on muscle damage are unclear. Two common circulating markers of muscle damage, myoglobin (Mb) and creatine kinase (CK) may be attenuated by fluid ingestion post-exercise. The purpose of this study was to examine the combined [...]
