RESTING METABOLIC RATE AND BODY COMPOSITION OF HEALTHY SWEDISH WOMEN DURING PREGNANCY
Body weight, resting metabolic rate (RMR), total body potassium (TBK), and total body water were measured and total body fat (TBF) was calculated in a longitudinal study of 22 pregnant, healthy Swedish women. Measurements were made before pregnancy, at gestational weeks 16-18, 30, and 36, and 5-10 d and 6 mo postpartum. RMR increased more [...]
URINE OSMOLALITY AND CONDUCTIVITY AS INDICIES OF HYDRATION STATUS IN ATHLETES IN THE HEAT
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine a quick and easy method for assessment of day-to-day hydration status in athletes in the heat. METHODS: Measurement of the osmolality of the first urine sample of the day collected after wakening but before breakfast established a standardized collection procedure to allow day-to-day comparisons of individuals. [...]

RESPONSE TO A FLUID LOAD IN ATHLETES WITH A HISTORY OF EXERCISE INDUCED HYPONATREMIA
PURPOSE: To determine whether athletes who had previously developed hyponatremia during an ultradistance triathlon show an impaired ability to excrete a large fluid load compared with athletes who had completed the same race without developing hyponatremia. METHODS: Six athletes who had developed hyponatremia ([Na] < 135 mmol x L(-1)) in the 1997 Ironman Triathlon (study [...]
FLUID REPLACEMENT FOLLOWING DEHYDRATION REDUCES OXIDATIVE STRESS DURING RECOVERY.
To investigate the effects of hydration status on oxidative DNA damage and exercise performance, 10 subjects ran on a treadmill until exhaustion at 80% VO(2max) during four different trials [control (C), 3% dehydration (D), 3% dehydration+water (W) or 3% dehydration+sports drink (S)]. Dehydration significantly decreased exercise time to exhaustion (D
