AB  - CONTEXT: Research focusing on improving hydration status and knowledge in female 
      indoor-sport athletes is limited. Investigators have demonstrated that hydration 
      education is an optimal tool for improving the hydration status of athletes. 
      OBJECTIVE: To assess the hydration status and fluid intake of collegiate female 
      indoor-sport athletes before and after a 1-time educational intervention. DESIGN: 
      Controlled laboratory study. SETTING: Collegiate women's volleyball and 
      basketball practices. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS: A total of 25 female 
      collegiate volleyball and basketball athletes (age = 21 +/- 1 years, height = 173.5 
      +/- 8.7 cm, weight = 72.1 +/- 10.0 kg) were assessed during 6 days of practices. 
      INTERVENTION(S): Participants' hydration status and habits were monitored for 3 
      practice days before they underwent a hydration educational intervention. 
      Postintervention, participants were observed for 3 more practice days. MAIN 
      OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Change in body mass, fluid consumed, urine specific gravity 
      (Usg), urine color (Ucol), and sweat rate were recorded for 6 practice days. 
      Participants completed a hydration-knowledge questionnaire before and after the 
      intervention. RESULTS: Three-day mean Usg and Ucol were considered euhydrated 
      prepractice (Usg = 1.015 +/- 0.006, Ucol = 4 +/- 1) and remained euhydrated 
      postpractice (Usg = 1.019 +/- 0.005, Ucol = 5 +/- 2) during the preintervention 
      period. Decreased prepractice Ucol (P < .01) and increased hydration knowledge (P 
      < .01) were present postintervention. Basketball athletes had greater body mass 
      losses from prepractice to postpractice than did volleyball athletes (P < .001). 
      Overall increases were evident when we compared prepractice and postpractice 
      measures of Usg and Ucol in the preintervention (P < .001 and P = .001, 
      respectively) and postintervention (P = .001 and P < .001) period, respectively. 
      No correlation was found between hydration knowledge and physiological indices of 
      hydration and fluid intake. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, female collegiate indoor-sport 
      athletes were hydrated and knowledgeable on hydration. However, our variable 
      findings indicated that further research on these athletes is needed; clinically, 
      attention should be given to the individual needs of each athlete. More 
      examination will demonstrate whether a 1-time educational intervention may be an 
      effective tool for improving hydration status in this population.
