Two lemon-lime flavored 2.5% carbohydrate-electrolyte solutions (CE1 supplemented with Na+, K+, and Mg+; and CE2 supplemented with NA+) were compared to plain water (water) and lemon-lime flavored water placebo (placebo) to evaluate their acceptability and consumption during 8 days of field training in hot weather. Acceptability ratings and consumption of CE2 and the flavored water placebo were similar and greater, respectively, than those for CE1. Average Na+ and K+ intakes, and serum electrolytes levels, were not affected during the 8-day trial. If food intake is adequate, consumption of carbohydrate-electrolyte solutions is apparently unnecessary to maintain electrolyte homeostasis.

Hypohydration can impair aerobic performance and deteriorate cognitive function during exercise. To minimize hypohydration, athletes are recommended to commence exercise at least euhydrated, ingest fluids containing sodium during long-duration and/or high-intensity exercise to prevent body mass loss over 2% and maintain elevated plasma osmolality, and rapidly restore and retain fluid and electrolyte homeostasis before a second exercise session. To achieve these goals, the compositions of the fluids consumed are key; however, it remains unclear what can be considered an optimal formulation for a hydration beverage in different settings.

Objective: Exercise-associated dehydration is a common problem, especially at sporting events. Although there are recommendations to drink a certain volume per kg body mass lost after exercise, there is no clear guidance about the type of rehydration beverage. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the effectiveness of carbohydrate-electrolyte solutions as a rehydration solution for exercise-associated dehydration.

Objectives: To examine the thermoregulatory and fluid-electrolyte responses of firefighters ingesting ice slurry and carbohydrate-electrolyte solutions before and after firefighting operations.
Methods: Twelve volunteer firefighters put on fireproof clothing and ingested 5 g/kg of beverage in an anteroom at 25°C and 50% relative humidity (RH; pre-ingestion), and then performed 30 minutes of exercise on a cycle ergometer (at 125 W for 10 minutes and then 75 W for 20 minutes) in a room at 35℃ and 50% RH. The participants then returned to the anteroom, removed their fireproof clothing, ingested 20 g/kg of beverage (post-ingestion), and rested for 90 minutes.
