P.244 left column: "Studies have shown that the response to dehydration is a drop in performance levels for various fundamental cognitive abilities involving short-term memory, working memory or visuo-motor abilities (primary sources Sharma et al., 1986, Gopinathan et al., 1988, ref Cian et al., 2000). The reduction in performance is proportionate to the degree of dehydration (primary source Gopinathan et al., 1988) and becomes significant with a 2% body weight loss (primary sources Sharma et al., 1986, Gopinathan et al., 1988). Moreover, dehydration via heat stress or via exercise have a similar detrimental effect on cognitive performance (ref Cian et al., 2000)." |
