The effects of dehydration, moderate alcohol consumption, and rehydration on cognitive functions
TL;DR: It is suggested that rehydration after exercise that causes fluid loss can attenuate alcohol-related deterioration of cognitive functions, and may pose implications for post match fluid replacement if a moderate amount of alcohol is also consumed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity management by general practitioners: the unavoidable necessity.

TL;DR: Fluid consumption following dehydration may improve continuous exercise performance under heat stress conditions, even when the body water deficit is modest and fluid intake is inadequate for complete rehydration.
Journal ArticleDOI
