Brief Summary
|
This is a two-part, prospective, open-label, randomized, parallel-group, multi-centre study in 525 healthy adults to evaluate the effects of flavoured hydration drinks compared with packaged drinking water on fluid and serum electrolyte balance following mild to moderate exercise. Participants will undergo a standardized 60-minute treadmill exercise followed by consumption of the assigned beverage using an individualized fluid replacement method. Primary outcomes include changes in serum electrolytes, urine specific gravity, and thirst perception at 15- and 60-minutes post-intervention. Secondary outcomes include urine output, body mass change, sensory evaluation, and safety. |
