description | Post-exercise rehydration has been widely studied, with particular emphasis on retention of ingested fluid; comparatively little research has been conducted on why we drink more or less. To identify physiological values corresponding to voluntary drinking cessation (VDC), nine males exercised intermittently at 70–80% HRmax in the heat (WBGT = 28.1 ± 0.7 °C) to achieve a dehydration of approximately 4.0% body mass (BM). After exercise, participants were instructed to drink water as long and as much as they needed. Urine color (U<sub>color</sub>), specific gravity (USG), osmolality (U<sub>osm</sub>), plasma osmolality (P<sub>osm</sub>), fullness, BM, and thirst perception (TP) were measured pre- and post-exercise and at VDC. Each variable was compared for the three points in time with a one-way ANOVA. Participants reached dehydration of −3.6 ± 0.3% BM. Pre-exercise USG (1.022 ± 0.004) was lower than at VDC (1.029 ± 0.004, <i>p</i> = 0.022), U<sub>osm</sub> did not change over time (<i>p</i> = 0.217), and U<sub>color</sub> was lower pre-exercise (3.4 ± 0.7) vs. post-exercise (5.5 ± 1.23, <i>p</i> = 0.0008) and vs. VDC (6.3 ± 1.1, <i>p</i> < 0.0001). P<sub>osm</sub> showed a difference between pre-exercise (289.5 ± 2.3) and post-exercise (297.8 ± 3.9, <i>p</i> = 0.0006) and between post-exercise and VDC (287.3 ± 5.4, <i>p</i> < 0.0001). TP post-exercise (96.4 ± 4.34) was significantly higher than pre-exercise (36.2 ± 19.1) and VDC (25.0 ± 18.2, <i>p</i> < 0.0001). At VDC, participants had recovered 58.7 ± 12.1% of BM loss. At the point of voluntary drinking cessation, P<sub>osm</sub> and thirst perception had returned to their pre-exercise values, while rehydration relative to initial BM was still incomplete. |
