In a Hydration Status Test led by Team Singapore and SEA Games Triathlete Bryce Chong, we find out the effectiveness of 100PLUS Active in rehydrating active bodies after exercise
How well are you staying hydrated before and after exercise?
In a hydration test with Team Singapore SEA Games medalist and sports science trained athlete Bryce Chong, we use osmolarity to test hydration levels of 12 cyclists and runners before, during and after their workouts.
Find out why top athletes and fitness enthusiasts trust 100PLUS Active to be their top hydration choice in this electrolyte-packed hydration revolution as we put 100PLUS Active to the test.
Using osmolarity, participants of the hydration test were tested on their hydration levels before and after a 45-minute run or cycle.
Each participant would drink a 150ml of their drink from the same coloured cup before, during and after their workouts.
The average difference in hydration levels were then taken, with a higher average indicating better hydration levels. The results from the hydration status test comprehensively showed 100PLUS Active to be a superior hydration choice drink!
Hydration Status Test
Equipment
- MX3 Pro Hydration Testing System
- Mx3 Pro Hydration Test Strips
Procedure & Protocol
Each of the 12 participating athletes is tested twice - once before taking any hydration (to establish their baseline hydration levels), and once after their workouts and completing 3 x 150ml cups of their assigned hydrations (to establish their hydration levels post workout).
The difference between the two readings is then taken to determine effectiveness of hydration.
Athletes were divided into 3 groups (Green, Blue and Red), and had to participate in either a 45 minute run at Zone 2 pace, or a 45 minute cycle at Zone 2 pace as part of the experiment.
Athletes will take a 150ml drink based on the colour they are assigned just before they commence their workout, another 150ml drink at the midway point of their workout, and third 150ml drink right after they have completed their workout.
Calculating the Results
Final results were tabulated as an average of the 4 athletes’ final hydration level readings within the same coloured group. To get the final reading for each individual, we took the difference of the second reading from his / her first reading at the start of the experiment. These are then totalled up and divided by the number of people in each group.
