Summary Introduction
To rank: The individual in order of the amount of body water they contain as a percentage of their body weight.
Introduction: Water is an important molecule in the human body. It acts as a solvent for all living matter. Water is able to move freely in and out of every cell and distributes itself until water concentrations are equal throughout the body.

What are the two ways fluid is gained? What are the two ways water is lost?
Briefly describe weight/body mass gain and weight/body mass loss in terms of energy balance.
Steven is a 35 year old male. To gain a better understanding of fluid requirement, you have decided to calculate his hourly sweat rate. You have collected the following data: · Exercise duration: 2 hours· Pre-exercise body mass: 85kg· Post-exercise body mass: 82.5kg· Fluid consumed during exercise: 350mL· Urine loss during exercise: 50mL From this data, what is his hourly sweat rate? Based on this, how much fluid should he consume during training?
List the factors that determine body water content and describe the effect of each factor.
