Guest guest Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Chaps, We all know that increased fluid intake is used as a preventative measure when ensuring adequate hydration during strenuous activities in hot climates. Obviously there are other factors to but focusing purely on the hydration aspect. Does anyone have an academic reference for the actual volumes required. I know its open to interpretation dependant on the other factors and the individual but I'm looking for something that at least try's for a specific. I've checked the OGP, Shell and our own company guides and they all mention hydration but do not give specifics other than frequent small sips. Not interested in the sports drinks v water debate purely the volume angle I want to pin down. Many Thanks Ian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- Ian Sharpe District Medical Response & Audit Coordinator " Fortitudine vincimus " Tel: + 31 70 341 3552 Mob: + 7 701 747 0108 UK Mob + 44 7970 782897 District Health Services Agip Kazakhstan North Caspian Operating Company N.
