Fluid intake, hydration status and body mass changes in U-15 judo athletes during a training day
Open accessAbstract
Despite numerous studies related to dehydration there is still a lack of scientific literature presenting hydration status and fluid intake of judo athletes during different periods. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate, fluid intake, hydration status and body weight changes of young judo athletes during a typical day of training in preparation period. Twenty-two young judo athletes (age: 12 ± 0.7 y, experience: 3.5 ± 1.1) voluntarily participated in this study. Hydration status and weight were examined in the morning, before and immediately after the training. All athletes trained 90 min and they consumed fluids ad libitum during the exercise. According to morning urine specific gravity (USG) values, 81.2% of the athletes were dehydrated while only 18.8% of the athletes were euhydrated. Pre-training urine measurements showed that 63.64% of the athletes presented dehydration and 77.27% of the athletes completed the training in dehydrated condition despite fluid availability during the training. Mean body weight loss during training was -0.64 ± 0.66%. It can be concluded that young judo athletes presented high prevalence of dehydration as indicated by USG values. Most of the athletes were dehydrated during a typical training day and completed the training in more dehydrated conditions compared to pre training values despite ad libitum fluid intake. It is of great importance to evaluate hydration status of the athletes before training to refrain from common practice of fluid restriction for weight loss and adverse effects of a persistent state of fluid deficit on physical and health related state.
Overview
CoChat Summary
TL;DR
In 22 U-15 Turkish judo athletes during a 90-min preparatory-phase training day, most were dehydrated by morning urine specific gravity (USG) and remained or became more dehydrated post-training despite ad libitum fluid access. Body weight decreased significantly across the day, with a mean training loss of 0.64 ± 0.66%.
Key findings
- Morning USG showed 81.2% dehydrated and 18.8% euhydrated; pre-training, 63.64% were dehydrated, and 77.27% completed training dehydrated despite fluid availability.
- USG did not differ significantly across morning, pre-training, and post-training (F1-21 = 1.60; p = 0.22; ES = 0.071 [small effect]); values were 1.022 ± 0.005, 1.023 ± 0.004, and 1.024 ± 0.004, respectively.
- Body weight differed significantly among measurements (F1-21 = 13.52, p < 0.000; table p = 0.001), with differences between pre-training and post-training (p = 0.000) and between morning and post-training (p < 0.01); mean weight loss during training was 0.64 ± 0.66% (−0.27 kg).
- No significant correlations were found between fluid intake and body weight change percentage (r = 0.18 [small]; p = 0.43; 95% CI = −0.56 to 0.27) or between fluid intake and USG change percentage (r = −0.15 [small]; p = 0.52; 95% CI = −0.53 to 0.29).
Methods
- Descriptive study of 22 U-15 regional/national-level Turkish judo athletes (reported as 14 males and 7 females; age 12 ± 0.7 y; judo experience 3.5 ± 1.1 y) during a typical 90-min preparatory-phase training session; fluids were consumed ad libitum, and athletes were not informed about the nature of the study. Training hall conditions were 28.3°C and 56% humidity.
- Measurements were taken in the morning, before training, and immediately after training: hydration status via USG using a digital refractometer (euhydrated defined as USG ≤ 1.020 g mL⁻¹), body weight, body composition by bioelectrical impedance, and stature by stadiometer; percentage weight loss was calculated according to Scott, Horswill, and Dick (1994).
- Analysis used one-way repeated-measures ANOVA with Tukey HSD post-hoc tests, Pearson product correlations, SPSS 20, and significance set at p < 0.05.
Limitations
- The paper states it did not control potential effects on USG such as prior training or supplement use, and that the study was primarily limited by the small number of athletes.
- The paper states future studies are warranted to present the real effects of dehydration on judo performance at all competitive age groups.
- Evident from the text: the reported sample of 22 athletes is inconsistent with the listed “14 males and 7 females” (21 athletes), and no absolute fluid intake values are reported despite fluid intake being monitored.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-14, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-14 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
