  1. Values are the mean (SE) for 10 Japanese and 10 Malaysians in the non-hydrated and hydrated conditions. ΔUrine specific gravity is the change from pre- to post-experiment. *Significant difference between Japanese and Malaysian participants in the hydrated or non-hydrated condition. †Significant difference between the hydrated and non-hydrated condition in Japanese or Malaysians.
