A quasi-experimental examination of weight-reducing dehydration practices in collegiate male rowers

Table 2 Descriptive statistics for total%BMC, abstinence%BMC, and thermal%BMC resulting from the hydration manipulations

	M	SD	Mdn	Min	Max
Total%BMC	-0.87	1.3	-0.86	1.73	-3.88
Thermal%BMC	-0.9	0.98	-0.88	0.47	-4.09
Abstinence%BMC	0.03	0.88	0.07	1.68	-2.36
%BMC post-rehydration – Total%BMC	1.19	0.87	1.39	3.27	-0.26
%BMC post-rehydration	0.32	0.77	0.41	2.05	-1.42

n = 12. Negative values indicate greater dehydration/increasing dehydration. Some positive values are expected to result from CON test days where fluid consumption was unrestricted over the period when fluid abstinence and thermal exposure would have otherwise occurred. M = mean, SD = standard deviation, Mdn = median, Min = minimum, Max = maximum
