Dempsey -- How long should an athletic trainer monitor pre- and post-practice weigh-ins? / Mike D.

Kavouras -- What effect does hydration status have on body temperature during exercise? / Matthew A. Tucker, and Matthew S. Ganio -- Do supplements (eg, creatine and caffeine) cause dehydration or exertional heat illness during activity in hot environments? / Candi D.
