However, whether fluid balance differs between hot-dry (HD) and warm-humid (WH) environments when workers adhere to these recommendations remains unclear. Therefore, this study evaluated fluid balance during simulated work in HD and WH conditions while following the prescribed hydration strategy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty healthy adults (10 females; 24 \u00b1 5 y) completed 2 randomized crossover trials consisting of 120\u2005min of moderate-intensity intermittent walking (338 W) under HD (40.6 \u00b0C, 20% relative humidity [RH], wet-bulb globe temperature [WBGT] of 29.3 \u00b0C), and WH (30 \u00b0C, 80% RH, WBGT of 28.3 \u00b0C) conditions. Participants consumed 237\u2005mL of cold water every 20\u2005min. Outcomes included body mass change, whole-body sweat rate (WBSR), net fluid balance, hydration efficiency, hydration biomarkers, thirst sensation, rectal temperature, and heart rate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No participant exceeded the 2% BML threshold.

Conversely, body mass gain (1.1 \u00b1 0.5 versus 0.6 \u00b1 0.4%), net fluid balance (0.70 \u00b1 0.27 versus 0.40 \u00b1 0.26\u2005L), and hydration efficiency (48.9 \u00b1 19.3 versus 28.2 \u00b1 18.0%) were greater in WH (all P &amp;lt; 0.001).

Future occupational hydration recommendations should consider environmental conditions and individual fluid requirements rather than relying solely on a universal fixed-volume strategy. Ad libitum drinking may also represent an acceptable alternative for maintaining hydration during occupational heat exposure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/annweh\/wxag085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,22]],"date-time":"2026-09-22T11:39:04Z","timestamp":1790077144000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Fluid balance during hot-dry and warm-humid heat stress while adhering to occupational hydration recommendations"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"70","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-3064-8460","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiujing","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Heat & Hydration Optimization (H2O) Lab, HPER Building, University of Arkansas, 155 Stadium Dr., Fayetteville, AR 72701, United States"},{"name":"Exercise Science Research Center, HPER Building, University of Arkansas, 155 Stadium Dr., Fayetteville, AR 72701 ,","place":["United States"]},{"name":"Department of Health, Human Performance & Recreation, HPER Building, University of Arkansas, 155 Stadium Dr., Fayetteville, AR 72701 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8720-5206","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cory L","family":"Butts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health, Human Performance & Recreation, HPER Building, University of Arkansas, 155 Stadium Dr., Fayetteville, AR 72701 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2502-8870","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zachary J","family":"McKenna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Exercise Science Research Center, HPER Building, University of Arkansas, 155 Stadium Dr., Fayetteville, AR 72701 ,","place":["United States"]},{"name":"Department of Health, Human Performance & Recreation, HPER Building, University of Arkansas, 155 Stadium Dr., Fayetteville, AR 72701 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5279-8163","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wen-Juo","family":"Lo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Counseling, Leadership, and Research Methods, Graduate Education Building, University of Arkansas, 751 W.
