No matter how mild, dehydration is not a desirable condition because there is an imbalance in the homeostatic function of the internal environment. This can adversely affect cognitive performance, not only in groups more vulnerable [...]
Progressive Dehydration during Cycling Increases Skeletal Muscle Glycogenolysis and Perceived Exertion in Hydrated Males.
This study investigated the effects of progressive mild dehydration during cycling on whole body substrate oxidation and skeletal muscle metabolism in recreationally active men. Subjects (n=9) cycled for 120 min at ~65% VO2peak (22.7°C, 32% [...]
