Impact of Coconut Water vs. Water on Hydration and Heart Rate During Exercise

A study comparing the effects of coconut water, water, and no fluid intake on hydration and cardiovascular drift during exercise. Thirteen male volunteers performed three exercise sessions on a bicycle ergometer under different fluid replacement conditions. The research was conducted by Thaysa Passos Nery Chagas and is available via Open Access.

Use Cases

• Compare dehydration levels based on percentage body mass changes across fluid intake groups.
• Analyze cardiovascular drift based on recorded heart rate data.
• Evaluate coconut water as a hydration aid relative to plain water.
• Model the relationship between fluid type and physiological markers during physical exertion.

Strengths

• Study design includes a control group (no water intake) and two intervention groups for comparison.
• Reports specific, quantified results for dehydration (percentage body mass changes) with standard deviations.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
