Popis: The effects of mild dehydration during ice hockey are well-studied in males but not females. In a randomized, crossover design, 11 female varsity hockey players drank no fluid (1.7% ± 0.3% body mass loss) or water to maintain hydration during simulated-hockey exercise. Core temperature (P < 0.01) and perceived fatigue (P = 0.02) were higher and sprint power lower (P < 0.01) when mildly dehydrated. Thus, mild dehydration may impair hockey performance and thermoregulation while increasing perceived fatigue in females. Novelty Female stop-and-go sport athletes may benefit their in-game sprint performance and thermoregulation by following personalized in-game hydration to prevent becoming mildly dehydrated.
