Total body water, A, extracellular water, B, and intracellular water, C, measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis and plasma volume determined by the CO-rebreathing method, D, in the weight-loss group and in the control group at t-1 (ordinary training period and weight maintenance), t-2 (2 days before competition for both groups and after a 5-day rapid weight-loss period for the weight-loss group), and t-3 (7 days after competition) (mean ± SD). ^aIndicates different from t-1 and t-3 (P < .001).
