HYPERTHERMIA AND DEHYDRATION-RELATED DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH INTENTIONAL RAPID WEIGHT LOSS IN THREE COLLEGIATE WRESTLERSA—NORTH CAROLINA, WISCONSIN, AND MICHIGAN, NOVEMBERA–DECEMBER 1997
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). During November 7-December 9, 1997, three previously healthy collegiate wrestlers in different states died while each was engaged in a program of rapid weight loss to qualify for competition. In the hours preceding the official weigh-in, all three wrestlers engaged in a similar rapid weight-loss regimen that promoted [...]

Hydration status measurement by radio frequency absorptiometry in young athletes–a new method and preliminary results.
A new method for non-invasive measurement of the human state of hydration is presented. This method is based on frequency-dependent absorptiometry of radio-waves passing through tissues. A device utilizing this method was constructed and applied to 12 young (24 +/- 1) male volunteers, who were dehydrated for 1-2.5% of their weight by performance of a [...]
Water channels.
The movement of water across cell membranes has been an active area of research for more than 100 years and is of fundamental importance in the normal water metabolism of all terrestrial animals. The objective of this review is to integrate recent data obtained from the isolation and molecular cloning of water channel proteins, with [...]
Fluid losses and hydration status of industrial workers under thermal stress working extended shifts.
AIMS: To assess whether workers under significant thermal stress necessarily dehydrated during their exposure and whether "involuntary dehydration" was inevitable, as supported by ISO 9866 and other authorities. Other objectives were to quantify sweat rates against recommended occupational limits, to develop a dehydration protocol to assist with managing heat exposures, and to understand the role [...]
A review of fluid and hydration in competitive tennis.
Hypohydration is known to impair performance and increases the risk of heat injury. Therefore, the consumption of appropriate fluid volumes before, during, and after tennis play is important to maintain physiological homeostasis and performance. Tennis is a sport that typically has points lasting fewer than ten seconds, with short-to-moderate rest periods between each work bout. [...]
Effects of an electrolyte additive on hydration and drinking behavior during wildfire suppression.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of a water + electrolyte solution versus plain water on changes in drinking behaviors, hydration status, and body temperatures during wildfire suppression. METHODS: Eight participants consumed plain water, and eight participants consumed water plus an electrolyte additive during 15 hours of wildfire suppression. Participants [...]
