Rehydration with drinks differing in sodium concentration and recovery from moderate exercise-induced hypohydration in man
Abstract
To investigate how differing moderate sodium chloride concentrations affect rehydration after exercise and subsequent exercise capacity, eight males lost 1.98 +/- 0.1% body mass exercising in the heat, then consumed one of four drinks in a volume equivalent to 150% of mass loss. Drinks were identical except for sodium chloride content (1 +/- 1, 31 +/- 1, 40 +/- 1, 50 +/- 1 mmol/l). After 4 h recovery subjects cycled for 5 min at 70% VO(2peak) then at 95% VO(2peak) until volitional fatigue. Urine output was inversely related to sodium intake: more was produced with the 1 than the 40 and 50 mmol/l drinks (P < 0.01). Time to exhaustion in the exercise capacity test was not different between treatments (P = 0.883). The addition of 40 or 50 mmol/l of sodium chloride to a rehydration beverage reduced subsequent urine output, thereby providing more effective rehydration than a sodium-free drink. This did not, however, result in improved performance 4 h after the end of the rehydration period.

Consuming a sodium-containing drink between 40 and 60 mEq·L−1 can improve fluid retention and rehydration when there is little time between sessions or when there is moderate dehydration.
“Furthermore, it has even been shown that consuming a sodium-containing drink between 40 and 60 mEq·L−1 can improve fluid retention and rehydration when there is little time between sessions or when there is moderate dehydration [24].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
