Increased resting lactate levels and reduced carbohydrate intake cause νLa.max underestimation by reducing net lactate accumulation-A pilot study in young adults. Physiol Rep 2024; 12:e70020.

Abstract
Modulation of testing conditions such as resting lactate (Larest) levels or carbohydrate intake may affect the calculation of the maximal glycolytic rate (νLa.max). To evaluate the impact of elevated Larest as well as reduced and increased carbohydrate availability on νLa.max in running sprints (RST), twenty-one participants completed five 15-s RST tests on a running track under five different conditions: (I). baseline: Larest ≤1.5 mmol·L-1; (II). Lactate+: Larest ≥2.5 mmol·L-1; (III). CHO-: carbohydrate intake: ≤ 1 g·kg-1 BW d-1 for 3 days; (IV). CHO+: carbohydrate intake: ≥ 9 g·kg-1 BW d-1 for one day; and (V). acuteCHO: 500 mL glucose containing beverage consumed before RST. νLa.max was significantly reduced in lactate+ and CHO- conditions compared to the baseline RST, due to a reduction in the arithmetic mean delta (∆) between Lapeak and Larest lactate concentration (Lapeak, mmol · L-1). AcuteCHO led to an increase in Larest compared to baseline, CHO- and CHO+ with a high interindividual variability but did not significantly reduce νLa.max. Therefore, avoiding low carbohydrate nutrition before νLa.max testing, along with carefully adjusting Larest to below ≤1.5 mmol·L-1, is crucial to prevent the unintentional underestimation of νLa.max.

Nutrients 2024; 16:1709.

Abstract
Despite decades of literature on (de)hydration in healthy individuals, many unanswered questions remain. To outline research and policy priorities, it is fundamental to recognize the literature trends on (de)hydration and identify current research gaps, which herein we aimed to pinpoint. From a representative sample of 180 (de)hydration studies with 4350 individuals, we found that research is mainly limited to small-scale laboratory-based sample sizes, with high variability in demographics (sex, age, and level of competition); to non-ecological (highly simulated and controlled) conditions; and with a focus on recreationally active male adults (e.g., Tier 1, non-athletes). The laboratory-simulated environments are limiting factors underpinning the need to better translate scientific research into field studies. Although, consistently, dehydration is defined as the loss of 2% of body weight, the hydration status is estimated using a very heterogeneous range of parameters. Water is the most researched hydration fluid, followed by alcoholic beverages with added carbohydrates (CHO). The current research still overlooks beverages supplemented with proteins, amino acids (AA), and glycerol. Future research should invest more effort in "real-world" studies with larger and more heterogeneous cohorts, exploring the entire available spectrum of fluids while addressing hydration outcomes more harmoniously.
