My heart is with Venezuela after the earthquakes. My family is safe, though shaken and with damaged homes. Venezuelans are resilient, but communities need resources. Please consider supporting trusted Australian relief efforts: https://t.co/pGtbIo027E #Venezuela

@tecoughlin Following up on this, just because I wasn’t convinced, I noticed a discrepancy between our manuscript and the editorial final publication! So yes, there is a typo which is now being rectified (fingers crossed). It should state grams per litre. My apologies.

[Lilia Convit @liliaconvit]

@tecoughlin Hi @tecoughlin ! Thanks so much for sharing our paper! The correct dose is 7.5 g per litte of sodium chloride, as stated in the abstract. We had participants consuming between 9 to 13 tablets of NaCl (1g each) with fluid in the first hour at rest. So not a missprint from us :)

In the meantime athletes can use THEIR OWN lived experiences of the menstrual cycle to inform their practices; they shouldn’t use data from one-off studies (whose findings have not been replicated) or low quality studies to change what they do.

This is what the SCIENCE says.
