Study Summary
This trial tests how a lower sugar flavored water affects hydration markers during exercise compared to plain water in children.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy boys and girls aged 8 to 10 who are not overweight (body weight ≤85th percentile) and can do moderate exercise in a warm environment. Kids with recent illnesses, conditions like diabetes or renal disease, those on medications affecting water balance, or with a history of heat stroke cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the effects of drinking lower sugar flavored water versus plain water on hydration during exercise in children. It will look at how these drinks affect hydration markers and feelings related to thirst and exertion while exercising in a controlled warm setting.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve common beverages such as flavored water and plain water, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, individual responses to exercise and hydration may vary.

Study Objectives
Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary outcome measures
Net fluid balance (according to body weight change) from baseline to 3 hours post exercise
Secondary outcome measures
Hydration status change (according to urine concentration) from baseline to 3 hours post exercise
Hydration-related perceptual variable change (thirst, mouth dryness, taste pleasantness) from baseline to 3 hours post-exercise
Total and compartmental body water change (according to bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy) from baseline to 3 hours post-exercise
