Article Synopsis
- The study examined urine specific gravity (Usg) and urine osmolality (Uosm) compared to plasma osmolality (Posm) in assessing hydration in NCAA athletes during different hydration states.
- Fifty-six male wrestlers and 26 female soccer players were tested through dehydration and rehydration, revealing high sensitivity but low specificity for Usg in indicating hydration status.
- The findings suggest that using Usg as a measure for hydration in collegiate athletes may lead to misclassifications, potentially affecting their performance.
