Children Rehydration During Exercise
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Dehydration in Children
In brief
The low fluid intake in combination with a high intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) by children is a significant concern among public health professionals. Therefore reformulation of existing commercially available beverages has been suggested as one of the strategies to change SSB beverage behaviors of children. It has been suggested that lack of flavor in plain water is one of the factors of low water intake in children. Therefore, the addition of a flavor to a low-carbohydrate beverage might increase and facilitate the voluntary fluid intake in children, and result in more effective rehydration during and after exercise. The present study aims to examine if a lower sugar flavored water will improve voluntary hydration in children that perform multiple exercise bouts within a period of 3 hours.
