Abstract
Background Hypohydration is associated with impaired endurance performance and increased heat stress. Therefore, rehydration after exercise needs to be sufficient. However, several athletes tend to hypohydrate especially during training camps. To allow exact quantification of necessary rehydration volume in order to prevent hypohydration, this study aimed to determine the sweat rate of highly trained junior rowers during a session of low intensity rowing training.
Highlights
Hypohydration is associated with impaired endurance performance and increased heat stress
As data do not reflect urine and fecal body water loss, total body water loss exceeds sweat rate. This has to be taken into account when calculating sufficient rehydration volume
Monitoring of hydration status is recommended in high performance sports
Summary
To allow exact quantification of necessary rehydration volume in order to prevent hypohydration, this study aimed to determine the sweat rate of highly trained junior rowers during a session of low intensity rowing training
