Results of analysis of variance for the change in plasma volume ∆PV calculated from HB and HCT results measured before and 0, 1, and 24 h after the exercise test: significance of (P) and F-statistic along with the number of degrees of freedom (DFi—in the numerator; DFm—in the denominator) for the fixed effects (hydration strategy, test sequence, and their interaction).
