PHYSICAL FITNESS INFLUENCES WATER TURNOVER AND BODY WATER CHANGES DURING TREKKING.

PURPOSE: This study was performed to assess water turnover and changes of body water during a trekking tour at moderate altitude. METHODS: Fifteen healthy normally trained adults participated in a 7-d backpack trek tour in the Swiss Alps (total walking distance: 120.5 km; cumulated altitude difference: 6990 m (uphill) and 7550 m downhill; lowest point: [...]

DEHYDRATION IN SOLDIERS DURING WALKING/RUNNING EXERCISE IN THE HEAT AND THE EFFECTS OF FLUID INGESTION DURING AND AFTER EXERCISE.

The aim of this study was to examine whether ingesting water alone, or dextrose (7.5 g x 100 ml(-1)) with electrolytes, or fructose/corn solids (7.5 g x 100 ml(-1)) (400 ml every 20 min) would reduce the perceived exertion associated with 16 km (3 h) walking/running in the heat compared with that perceived during exercise [...]

EFFECT OF WATER DEPRIVATION ON COGNITIVE-MOTOR PERFORMANCE IN HEALTHY MEN AND WOMEN.

Whether mental performance is affected by slowly progressive moderate dehydration induced by water deprivation has not been examined previously. Therefore, objective and subjective cognitive-motor function was examined in 16 volunteers (8 females, 8 males, mean age: 26 yr) twice, once after 24 h of water deprivation and once during normal water intake (randomized cross-over design; [...]
