Summary

Dehydration is defined as the state of water deficit due to excessive water losses and/or small water intake. Underhydration is the result of inadequate water intake leading to activation of water hormonal homeostasis, characterized by elevated vasopressin, lower urinary output, and concentrated urine without any measurable changes in total body water. It is well established that dehydration (water deficit) decreases exercise performance and worsens mood, mainly in women. However, the impact of increased water intake in underhydrated individuals on their exercise capacity and mood is not known.

The aim of the proposed study is to investigate the impact of increased water intake in underhydrated individuals on aerobic exercise performance and mood in both women and men.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Increase water consumption

The underhydrated individuals will be instructed to increase their water intake for one week in order to meet the following two criteria: a) urinate at least 7 times per day and b) have straw-like color urine. A 2-mile run will be completed before and after the 7-day intervention.

BEHAVIORAL

Maintain adequate water consumption

The subjects that are classified as euhydrated will be asked to maintain high water intake for one week to ensure proper hydration. A 2-mile run will be completed before and after the 7-day intervention.
