Figure 1b does not appear to represent the mean of the individual values. We also would have appreciated the level of dehydration that occurred during exercise, as this is how their fluid recovery scheme was determined. From the data presented (1.5 mL/kg/ 15 min during exercise and 150% post-exercise), the participants received ~400 mL during the 75 min cycling bout, became ~1.5% dehydrated, leaving ~1400 mL as a bolus postexercise. This would certainly present a challenge to retention, which is supported by the resulting urine output of >1.5 L.
