EFFECTS OF VOLUNTARY FLUID INTAKE DEPRIVATION ON MENTAL AND PSYCHOMOTOR PERFORMANCE
AIM: To assess if there is deterioration in mental and psychomotor performance during 24-hour voluntary fluid intake deprivation. METHODS: A battery of computer generated psychological tests (Complex Reactionmeter Drenovac-series) was applied to 10 subjects to test light signal position discrimination, short-term memory, simple visual orientation, simple arithmetics, and complex motor coordination. We measured total test [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
Hydration status in college football players during consecutive days of twice-a-day preseason practices.
BACKGROUND: Football players lose 3.5 to 5 kg of body weight during preseason practices because of heavy sweating. This fluid may be difficult to replace when practices occur 2 times per day on consecutive days. HYPOTHESIS: Football players are hypohydrated during twice-a-day preseason training in a hot, humid environment. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive laboratory study. METHODS: [...]
Effect of hydration state on testosterone and cortisol responses to training-intensity exercise in collegiate runners.
Exercise intensity powerfully influences testosterone, cortisol, and testosterone : cortisol ratio (T:C) responses to endurance exercise. Hydration state may also modulate these hormones, and therefore may alter the anabolic/catabolic balance in response to endurance exercise and training. This study examined the effect of running intensity on testosterone, cortisol, and T : C when exercise was [...]
Control of thermoregulatory sweating is altered by hydration level and exercise intensity.
The purpose of this study was to examine the thermoregulatory sweating control parameters of threshold temperature and sensitivity to determine whether 1) these variables were altered by hypohydration level and exercise intensity and 2) these alterations, if present, were additive and independent. Nine heat-acclimated men completed a matrix of nine trials: three exercise intensities of [...]
Influence of hydration level and body fluids on exercise performance in the heat.
During exercise in the heat, sweat output often exceeds water intake, resulting in hypohydration, which is defined as a body fluid deficit. This fluid deficit is comprised of water loss from both the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments. Hypohydration during exercise causes a greater heat storage and reduces endurance in comparison with euhydration levels. The [...]
Effect of hydration state on strength, power, and resistance exercise performance.
PURPOSE: Although many studies have attempted to examine the effect of hypohydration on strength, power, and high-intensity endurance, few have successfully isolated changes in total body water from other variables that alter performance (e.g., increased core temperature), and none have documented the influence of hypohydration on an isotonic, multiset, multirepetition exercise bout typical of resistance [...]
