Mean ± SD for % fluid retained, initial body mass, and % dehydration.

Treatment	Initial BM (kg)	% Dehy	% Fluid Ret *	% BM Restored *
Water Placebo	74.5 ± 10.0	2.57 ± 0.50	58.1 ± 12.6 a	98.0 ± 0.9 a
ORS	74.6 ± 10.1	2.57 ± 0.56	76.9 ± 8.0 b	98.7 ± 0.3 b
Sports Drink	74.5 ± 10.0	2.57 ± 0.52	73.9 ± 10.9 b	98.5 ± 0.4 b

n = 26. BM: body mass; Dehy: dehydration; Ret: retention. * ANOVA indicates statistical difference exists between treatments. Different superscripts indicate statistically significant differences using Tukey’s HSD (required difference: 7.125 for p < 0.05).
