Table 2 Pre‐test and post‐test body masses, heat storage, body and sweat loss in the three conditions.
| Fluid intake (n = 11) | Mouth rinse (n = 9) | No fluid (n = 11) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre‐BM (kg) | 73.86 (10.6) | 72.50 (11.2) | 74.09 (10.7) |
| Post‐BM (kg) | 73.33 (10.6)* | 70.96 (11.0)† | 72.30 (10.5)† |
| BM loss (%) | 0.73 (0.4)* | 2.14 (0.6)†‡ | 2.4 (0.8)†‡ |
| Sweat rate (l/h) | 0.83 (0.3) | 0.78 (0.2) | 0.90 (0.3) |
| Hs1 (J/m2/h) | 14.49 (7.6) | 13.05 (5.3) | 14.83 (6.5) |
| Hs2 (J/m2/h) | 32.33 (11.5)§ | 31.02 (6.4)§ | 36.28 (6.1)§ |
BM, body mass; Hs1, heat storage from the 45 min laboratory exercise; Hs2, heat storage from the 45 min soccer match.
Values are mean (SD).
*Significant difference pre‐test to post‐test (p<0.05).
†Significant difference pre‐test to post‐test (p<0.01).
‡Significant difference in comparison to the fluid condition (p<0.01).
§Significant difference between laboratory exercise and soccer match (p<0.01).
