Purpose Relationships between body weight, urine color (Uc), and thirst level (WUT) have
been proposed as a simple and inexpensive self-assessment method to predict dehydration …

Our objective was to determine self-reported accuracy of an athletic population using two
different urine color (Uc) charts (8-color vs. 7-color Uc chart). After approval by the …

Context Urine specific gravity (USG) should be measured at room temperature (20° C), but
the temperature of the sample is not always considered. Objective To evaluate the effect of …

This study examined 24-h hydration parameters among collegiate, male soccer players (n=
17) during twice (X2) and once (X1) per day practice schedules in the heat. Urine specific …

Heat conditioning aids in acclimatization to support health and performance, yet heat safety
is an important factor. This quasi-experimental pilot study investigated differences in micro …

are not feasible. Objective To compare the accuracy of Uc scoring using 4 light conditions …

Background and objectives: Research investigating hydration strategies specialized for
women's soccer players is limited, despite the growth in the sport. The purpose of this study …

There is potential for error when athletes self-assess urine color when attempting to
distinguish between high and low urine concentration. This study investigates student …
