  • Title: Evidence-based approach to lingering hydration questions.
    Author: Ganio MS, Casa DJ, Armstrong LE, Maresh CM.
    Journal: Clin Sports Med; 2007 Jan; 26(1):1-16. PubMed ID: 17241912.
    Abstract:
    Studies related to fundamental hydration issues have required clinicians to re-examine certain practices and concepts. The ingestion of substances such as creatine, caffeine, and glycerol has been questioned in regards to safety and hydration status. Reports of overdrinking (hyponatremia) also have brought into question the practices of drinking appropriate fluid amounts and the role that fluid-electrolyte balance has in the etiology of heat illnesses such as heat cramps. This article offers a fresh perspective on timely topics related to hydration, fluid balance, and exercise in the heat.
