![]() Furthermore, a mixed model analysis was performed for additional validation. The following biomarkers were assessed at baseline and during their recovery period: blood viscosity at high and low shear rates, plasma osmolality, bioimpedance, and body mass, as well as monitoring vital signs. Participants were randomized to rehydrate with an electrolyzed, high-pH (alkaline) water or standard water of equal volume (2% body weight) and assessed for an additional 2-h recovery period following exercise in order to assess any potential variations in measured parameters. All individuals exercised in a warm environment (30 ☌, 70% relative humidity) until their weight was reduced by a normally accepted level of 2.0 ± 0.2% due to perspiration, reflecting the effects of exercise in producing mild dehydration. One hundred healthy adults (50 M/50 F, 31 ± 6 years of age) were enrolled at a single clinical research center in Camden, NJ and completed this study with no adverse events. This randomized, double-blind, parallel-arm trial assessed the effect of high-pH water on four biomarkers after exercise-induced dehydration. Additional parameters are needed to fully appreciate and better understand rehydration following strenuous exercise. Currently, changes in body mass are used as a parameter during post-exercise hydration. ![]() No specific hydration marker is universally accepted as an ideal rehydration parameter following strenuous exercise. Previous research has shown fluid replacement beverages ingested after exercise can affect hydration biomarkers.
