A subjective evaluation of a drinking system for saturation divers.

Studies have shown that divers may lose large volumes of body fluids in hot water suit (HWS) dives lasting for four hours or longer, and that this dehydration is mainly caused by sweating. Body fluid balance may be impaired and the diver's alertness and power of judgement could be influenced by such imbalance. The main [...]

Assessing the Relationship between Vitamin D(3) and Stratum Corneum Hydration for the Treatment of Xerotic Skin.

Vitamin D(3) has been called the "sunshine" vitamin since the formation of vitamin D is mediated by exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D(3) is linked to many health benefits, however serum levels of vitamin D(3) have been decreasing over the last few decades and the lower levels of vitamin D(3) may have consequences on normal physiology. [...]

Milk protein and the restoration of fluid balance after exercise.

Sweat is produced during exercise to help dissipate some of the extra heat produced due to an increase in metabolic rate. Inadequate drink ingestion during exercise means athletes finish exercise hypohydrated and when the time between exercise bouts is short, effective rehydration strategies will be necessary to prevent subsequent performance impairment. For complete rehydration, drink [...]

Glycerol use in hyperhydration and rehydration: scientific update.

Glycerol ingestion creates an osmotic drive that enhances fluid retention. The major practical applications for athletes are to either (i) hyperhydrate befote exercise so that they have more fluid to be lost as sweat during subsequent performance, thereby delaying the progression of dehydration from becoming physiologically significant, or (ii) improve both the rate of rehydration [...]

Acute effect of oral water intake during exercise on post-exercise hypotension.

Background/objectives: Post-exercise hypotension (PEH) is a sustained reduction in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) after prolonged exercise. As water drinking is known to elicit a large acute pressor response, we aimed to explore the effect of drinking water during exercise on PEH. Subjects/methods: Ten normotensive male volunteers performed the control protocol: 30 min supine rest, 60 min [...]

Recovery in Soccer: Part I – Post-Match Fatigue and Time Course of Recovery.

In elite soccer, players are frequently required to play consecutive matches interspersed by 3 days and complete physical performance recovery may not be achieved. Incomplete recovery might result in underperformance and injury. During congested schedules, recovery strategies are therefore required to alleviate post-match fatigue, regain performance faster and reduce the risk of injury. This article [...]

Water intake and post-exercise cognitive performance: an observational study of long-distance walkers and runners.

PURPOSE: The impact of diet on endurance performance and cognitive function has been extensively researched in controlled settings, but there are limited observational data in field situations. This study examines relationships between nutrient intake and cognitive function following endurance exercise amongst a group of 33 recreational runners and walkers. METHODS: All participants (mean age of [...]

Significant and serious dehydration does not affect skeletal muscle cramp threshold frequency.

OBJECTIVE: Many clinicians believe that exercise-associated muscle cramps (EAMC) occur because of dehydration. Experimental research supporting this theory is lacking. Mild hypohydration (3% body mass loss) does not alter threshold frequency (TF), a measure of cramp susceptibility, when fatigue and exercise intensity are controlled. No experimental research has examined TF following significant (3-5% body mass [...]

Body weight changes in child and adolescent athletes during a triathlon competition.

We examined young athletes during a triathlon performed in a hot climate. Complete or partial data were available for 95 athletes competing in the National Triathlon Championship in Costa Rica. Mean ± SD for age and body weight (BW) were 13.1 ± 2.5 years and 46.3 ± 11.5 kg, respectively. Race requirements included: 500 m [...]

Analysis of dehydration and strength in elite badminton players.

BACKGROUND. The negative effects of dehydration on aerobic activities are well established. However, it is unknown how dehydration affects intermittent sports performance. The purpose of this study was to identify the level of dehydration in elite badminton players and its relation to muscle strength and power production. METHODOLOGY: Seventy matches from the National Spanish badminton [...]
