The homeostasis of body fluid traditionally is viewed as involving the regulation of its osmolality and of blood volume. However, the control of thirst is more complex than can be described in a two-factor model, and consideration of plasma sodium concentration and of arterial blood pressure also must be included in the discussion. This review [...]
Effects of water temperature and flavoring on fluid consumption and body weight losses were studied in fourteen unacclimatized men (21-33 years) during 6 hr of treadmill exercise (4.8 km.hr-1, 5% grade for 30 min.hr-1) in a hot environment. Subjects consumed each of four beverages (15 degrees C water, 40 degrees C water, 15 degrees C [...]
These two studies investigated the impact of beverage acceptability on voluntary fluid intake during exercise and the subsequent impact of exercise on the perception and liking of beverages. In Experiment 1, 49 triathletes and runners first tasted an array of 10 commercially available flavors of a 6% carbohydrate-electrolyte drink (CE) and water (W) to determine [...]

The purpose of this experiment was to explore the complex relationship between fluid consumption and consumption factors (thirst, voluntary dehydration, water alliesthesia, palatability, work-rest cycle) during a simulated 14.5-km desert walk (treadmill, 1.34 m X s-1, 5% grade, 40 degrees C dry bulb/26 degrees C wet bulb, and wind speed of approximately 1.2 m X [...]
