(Erickson et al., 2015) 2015 Illinois Greater PA and higher fitness levels are associated with better brain and cognitive health for children and older adults. - Physical Activity and Thirst Authors Year Location of Study Key Features Parameters/Tests Performed (Meyer et al., 1994) 1994 Barrington, Illinois In conclusion, mild hypohydration in children who exercise in the heat induced an increase in thirst and in the degree of desirability of drinks. During voluntary rehydration, most children drank considerably to overshoot their initial body weight with all drinks. Thirst and Drink preferences were assessed (analog and category scales). (Maresh et al., 2004) 2004 Storrs, Connecticut Primary finding of this study was that the extended period of hypohydration before low- intensity exercise magnified the drive to drink. Urine Specific Gravity (USG) Blood Sample Motor-Driven Treadmill Thirst Scale (Kenefick&Cheuvront, 2012) 2012 - Exposure to exercise and environmental stress causes intercompartmental fluid shifts, loss of body water and extended delay in fluid replacement by drinking (involuntary dehydration), especially when sweating occurs. Sodium-osmotic and volume-depletion stimuli induce thirst and drinking during and after exercise. - (Mears et al., 2016) 2016 Loughborough The main finding was that sensations of thirst remained until satiated by voluntary water intake.
