TL;DR: This statement updates practical recommendations regarding fluid-replacement strategies for physically active individuals and educates physically active people regarding the benefits of fluid replacement to promote performance and safety and the potential risks of both hypohydration and hyperhydration on health and physical performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exertional heat stroke: new concepts regarding cause and care.
TL;DR: Important issues related to EHS cause and care are addressed, including predisposing factors, errors in care, physiology of cold water immersion, and return-to-play or duty considerations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional movement screen and aerobic fitness predict injuries in military training.
TL;DR: This study investigated associations between injuries and individual components of the Marine Corps physical fitness test (PFT), self-reported exercise and previous injury history, and Functional Movement Screen (FMS) scores to determine what combination of PFT and FMS tests are most suitable for predicting injuries.
