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 [...]

MATERNAL HYDRATION INCREASES AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX IN WOMEN WITH NORMAL AMNIOTIC FLUID.

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that maternal oral hydration would increase the amniotic fluid (AF) index in pregnancies with normal AF. METHODS: Forty women with a normal AF index (7.0-24.0 cm) were randomized to either the control or hydration group. Women in the hydration group drank 2 L of water and returned for the post-treatment [...]

The effect of caffeinated, non-caffeinated, caloric and non-caloric beverages on hydration.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of various combinations of beverages on hydration status in healthy free-living adult males. METHODS: In a counterbalanced, crossover manner, 18 healthy adult males ages 24 to 39, on four separate occasions, consumed water or water plus varying combinations of beverages. Clinical guidelines were used to determine the fluid allowance for [...]

Effect of hydration status on high-intensity rowing performance and immune function.

PURPOSE: This study determined the effect of dehydration and rehydration (DR) on performance, immune cell response, and tympanic temperature after high-intensity rowing exercise. METHODS: Seven oarswomen completed two simulated 2000-m rowing race trials separated by 72 h in a random, cross-over design. One trial was completed in a euhydrated (E) condition and the other using [...]

MATERNAL HYDRATION INCREASES AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX.

Although adequate amniotic fluid (AF) volume is considered an important aspect of fetal well-being, the etiology of decreased AF volume is not well understood. A randomized blinded trial was designed to examine our hypothesis that maternal hydration would increase the AF index in women with low AF indexes. Women seen in our testing centers were [...]
