VALIDITY OF URINE-BLOOD HYDRATIONAL MEASURES TO ASSESS TOTAL BODY WATER CHANGES DURING MOUNTAINEERING IN THE SUB-ARCTIC.
Mountaineering involves high altitude and cold exposure which are each associated with significant levels of dehydration (via altitude-cold diuresis, high energy expenditures, and poor access to water). The purpose of this study was to identify and validate urine and blood indices of dehydration as compared to changes in total body water (which served as the [...]
