Sports Exerc., Vol. 35, No. 1, pp. 150-156, 2003. Purpose: To compare glycerol and water hyperhydration and rehydration on tennis related skill and agility performance. Methods: Eleven male subjects completed two counter-balanced, double-blind trials. Each trial consisted of three phases: I) hyperhydration with or without glycerol (1.0 g kg- 1 ) over 150 min, 2) 120 min of exercise-induced dehydration (EID), and 3) rehydration with or without glycerol (0.5 g-kg-l) over 90 min. After each phase, subjects performed 5- and 10-m sprint tests, a repeated-effort agility test, and tennis skill tests. Results: Glycerol (G) hyperhydration significantly increased fluid retention by- 900 mL over the placebo (P) (P c 0.05). After EID, body weight was reduced in both groups but was not significantly different between groups (G: -2.71 ± 0.08, P: -2.67 ± 0.09%). At the end of the rehydration phase, PV was significantly greater in the G trial than in the P trial, and the G trial resulted in a significantly greater fluid retention of -700 mL over the P trial (P c 0.05). Although the magnitude of hypohydration was modest (
