DIFFERENCE IN REHYDRATION PROCESS DUE TO SALT CONCENTRATION OF DRINKING WATER IN RATS
Albino rats were thermally dehydrated (approximately 8% of body wt), divided into five groups, and given tap water or 0.2, 0.45, 0.9, or 2.0% NaCl solution ad libitum for 16 h. Rats given 0.9 or 0.45% NaCl solution regained fluid loss completely in 3-3.5 h, whereas those given 0.2% solution became fully rehydrated at 10 [...]

IMPACT OF BEVERAGE ACCEPTABILITY ON FLUID INTAKE DURING EXERCISE
These two studies investigated the impact of beverage acceptability on voluntary fluid intake during exercise and the subsequent impact of exercise on the perception and liking of beverages. In Experiment 1, 49 triathletes and runners first tasted an array of 10 commercially available flavors of a 6% carbohydrate-electrolyte drink (CE) and water (W) to determine [...]
HEAT WAVES: THEIR IMPACT ON THE HEALTH OF ELDERS
A trend toward more hot and humid summers in the United States raises concern for the health of our elderly population. Older adults are more vulnerable to heat illness than younger people because of dysfunctional thermoregulatory mechanisms, chronic dehydration, medications, and diseases involving the systems that regulate body temperature. Heat exhaustion, if untreated, will lead [...]
THE EFFECT OF BEVERAGE CARBONATION ON SENSORY RESPONSES AND VOLUNTARY FLUID INTAKE FOLLOWING EXERCISE
The effects of carbonated beverages on sensory acceptability and voluntary fluid intake after exercise were examined. The level of carbonation in a 6% carbohydrate (CHO) electrolyte drink was systematically varied (0, 1.1, 2.3, and 3.0 volumes of CO2), and its impact was assessed in 52 adults following 30 min of exercise. The perception of carbonation [...]
URINARY INDICIES OF HYDRATION STATUS.
Athletes and researchers could benefit from a simple and universally accepted technique to determine whether humans are well-hydrated, euhydrated, or hypohydrated. Two laboratory studies (A, B) and one field study (C) were conducted to determine if urine color (Ucol) indicates hydration status accurately and to clarify the interchangeability of Ucol, urine osmolality (Uosm), and urine [...]
