PURPOSE To investigate the effect of drink temperature on cycling capacity in the heat. METHODS On two separate trials, eight males cycled at 66 +/- 2% VO2peak (mean +/- SD) to exhaustion in hot (35.0 +/- 0.2 degrees C) and humid (60 +/- 1%) environments. Participants ingested three 300-mL aliquots of either a cold (4 degrees C) or a warm (37 degrees C) drink during 30 min of seated rest befo...

Satiety is important in regulating food intake and has important public health significance in the control of obesity. Food containing protein and non-starch polysaccharides provides a satiety effect through various mechanisms but a comparison of the satiety effect on each has not previously been investigated. This study compared the satiety effect or reduction of hunger after consumption of (i...

conclusions these findings indicate that rehydration with honey drink improves running performance and glucose metabolism compared to plain water in the heat. thus, honey drink can be recommended for rehydration purpose for athletes who compete in the heat. results running distance in run-2 covered by the subjects in the honey drink hd trial (3420 ± 350 m) was significantly (p < 0.01) longer co...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the role of physical exercise as well as the influence of hydration with an isotonic sports drink on renal function in male Wistar rats. Four groups were studied over a period of 42 days: 1) control (N = 9); 2) physical exercise (Exe, N = 7); 3) isotonic drink (Drink, N = 8); 4) physical exercise + isotonic drink (Exe + Drink, N = 8). Physical ...

OBJECTIVE This study explored relationships regarding perceived stress, energy drink consumption, and academic performance among college students. PARTICIPANTS Participants included 136 undergraduates attending a large southern plains university. METHODS Participants completed surveys including items from the Perceived Stress Scale(1) and items to describe energy drink consumption, academic...

Tea-ginger drink was selected for evaluation due to its nutraceutical potential. Panelists rated preference for drinks prepared from tea, ginger, and tea+ginger powder for colour, taste, and aroma. The obtained data were evaluated using analysis of variance, principal component analysis, and agglomerative hierarchical clustering. Also the colour preference scores were evaluated against instrume...
