Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Due to the lack of any comparative study related to effect of different hydration processes, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of coach encouragement and hydration education in maintaining hydration status in child judo athletes

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Forty-seven athletes participated in a four-day training camp, during which hydration status was assessed before and after training sessions under three different conditions: no intervention (control), coach-guided fluid intake encouragement, and pre-training brief one-time hydration education. Athletes were unaware of the intervention conditions assigned to each day, and the educational session was delivered without emphasizing its experimental nature. To minimize potential carryover effects, the sequence of interventions was fixed. Hydration status was objectively monitored using urine specific gravity (USG) and urine color (UC) measurements.

Participants
Athletes were unaware of the intervention conditions assigned to each day, and the educational session was presented without emphasizing its experimental nature. The order of conditions was fixed (control first, then coach encouragement, and finally education) to minimize potential carryover effects.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

No-intervention (Control)

This arm did not receive any intervention. They completed the training session without any encouragement related to fluid intake.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Coach encouragement (Intervention 1)

During this intervention, athletes were encouraged by their coaches to consume fluids during the training.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hydration-Coach Encouragement

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Athletes were encouraged by their coaches to consume fluids during the training session.

Hydration education (Intervention 2)

During this interventio, athletes were given a brief hydration education before the training session.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Short Hydration Informative Session

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Athletes were given a brief educational session related to importance of hydration before the exercise session.
