Assessment of extracellular dehydration using saliva osmolality
When substantial solute losses accompany body water an isotonic hypovolemia (extracellular dehydration) results. The potential for using blood or urine to assess extracellular dehydration is generally poor, b...

Hypohydration and acute thermal stress affect mood state but not cognition or dynamic postural balance
Equivocal findings have been reported in the few studies that examined the impact of ambient temperature (T a) and hypohydration on cognition and dynamic balance. The purpose of this study was to ...

Hydration assessment using the cardiovascular response to standing
The cardiovascular response to standing (sit-to-stand change in heart rate; SSΔHR) is commonly employed as a screening tool to detect hypohydration (body water deficit). No study has systematically evaluated S...

DEET insect repellent: effects on thermoregulatory sweating and physiological strain
Insect repellents (e.g. N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide or DEET) applied to the skin can potentially interfere with sweat production and evaporation, thus increasing physiological strain during exercise-heat stress. The ...

Hypohydration reduces vertical ground reaction impulse but not jump height
This study examined vertical jump performance using a force platform and weighted vest to determine why hypohydration (~4% body mass) does not improve jump height. Measures of functional performance from a for...

Efficacy of body ventilation system for reducing strain in warm and hot climates
This study determined whether a torso-vest forced ambient air body ventilation system (BVS) reduced physiological strain during exercise-heat stress. Seven heat-acclimated volunteers attempted nine, 2-h treadm...
