Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effect of Coconut Water on Hydration Status in Pediatric Population (NCT NCT05562401)

NCT ID: NCT05562401

Last Updated: 2025-02-21

Results Overview

The independent variable is dichotomous and is classified as: A for coconut water and B for oral electrolytes. will be measured in milliliters. The dependient variable is dichotomus and is classified as: 1. Euhydrated 2. Dehydrated It will be classified as euhydrated or dehydrated when any 2 or more indicators are consistent with the euhydration or dehydration cut-off points, as the case may be.

Participant Flow

That the adolescent is a student belonging to the private institution ISFPG. That the adolescent perform competitive physical exercise of an aerobic type. Those students who are 12 years old and who are under 18 years old. The parent or guardian of the adolescent and the student himself must agree to participate and comply with The autograph authorization of the informed consent letter. The adolescent must be in good physical (Annex 2) and mental (Annex 3) health.

34 healthy adolescents from 12 to 17 years of age were selected by simple sampling, of which 8 subjects were excluded due to CoVid-19 and 2 decided not to participate, later they were randomly assigned to a treatment group using the balanced block method.

Participant milestones

Measure
Coconut Water
To determine if Coconut Water is more effective on hydration status than oral electrolytes in adolescents who perform physical exercise of aerobic competition. Coconut Water: Coconut water is the clear fluid inside the coconut, has natural electrolytes such as potassium, sodium and manganese.
Oral Electrolytes
To determine if Coconut Water is more effective on hydration status than oral electrolytes in adolescents who perform physical exercise of aerobic competition. OE: It is considered a medicine by the general health law that does not require a prescription and can be sold in any establishment that is not a pharmacy. Is an industrialized drink that containing water, carbohydrates, electrolytes.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

The change in body mass will be measured in kg indicating dehydration in a loss equal to or greater than 5 percent of initial weight through the principle that 1g of weight lost is equivalent to 1ml of water lost.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

The electrical bioimpedance will measure the body water percentage before and after, indicating if the participant had the event of dehydration after the treatment when there was a loss of water equal to or greater than 2%.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

The level of light refraction in the urine of the subjects will be measured before exercise to ensure their state of euhydration and at the end the changes of the new urine sample will be seen post exercise and hydration. The specific gravity of urine will be expressed in g/cm3.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

The results of each subject will be analyzed and both groups (coconut water or sports drink) will be compared to determine the hydration effect of the drinks used used by chi square or t tests.
