Fluid intake recommendations have been established for the athletic population in order to promote adequate hydration. The Beverage Intake Questionnaire (BEVQ-15) is a quick and reliable food frequency questionnaire that quantifies habitual beverage intake, which has been validated in children, adolescents, and adults. However, no validated beverage consumption questionnaire is available for collegiate athletes. Urine color (UC), while feasible for determining hydration status, has not been validated within a variety of collegiate athletes. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the comparative validity and reliability of pragmatic methods to rapidly assess BEVQ-15 and UC rating in U.S. Division I collegiate athletes. Student-athletes (n = 120; 54% females; age 19 ± 1 years) from two universities were recruited to complete three study sessions. At the first and third sessions, the participants completed the BEVQ-15 and provided a urine sample to determine UC and urinary specific gravity. All sessions included completion of a 24-hr dietary recall. Total fluid intake (fl oz) was 111 ± 107 and 108 ± 42 using the BEVQ-15 and the mean of three 24-hr dietary recalls, respectively, which was not different between methods (p > .05). There were moderate associations between the BEVQ-15 and dietary recall results for total beverage intake fl oz and kcal(r = .413 and r = 4.65; p ≤ .05, respectively). Strong associations were noted between both researcher-rated and participant-rated UC with urinary specific gravity measures (r = .675 and r = .884; p ≤ .05, respectively). Therefore, these rapid assessment methods demonstrated acceptable validity and may be used as practical methods to determine whether athletes are meeting their hydration recommendations.

已经为运动人群制定了液体摄入量建议，以促进充足的水合作用。饮料摄入量问卷 (BEVQ-15) 是一种快速可靠的食物频率问卷，用于量化习惯性饮料摄入量，已在儿童、青少年和成人中得到验证。然而，大学运动员没有经过验证的饮料消费问卷。尿液颜色 (UC) 虽然可用于确定水合状态，但尚未在各种大学运动员中得到验证。这项调查的目的是评估实用方法的比较有效性和可靠性，以快速评估美国一级大学运动员的 BEVQ-15 和 UC 等级。学生运动员 ( n = 120; 54% 女性；年龄 19 ± 1 岁）从两所大学招募完成三个学习课程。在第一次和第三次会议上，参与者完成了 BEVQ-15 并提供了尿样以确定 UC 和尿比重。所有课程都包括完成 24 小时饮食回忆。使用 BEVQ-15 和 3 次 24 小时饮食回忆的平均值，总液体摄入量 (fl oz) 分别为 111 ± 107 和 108 ± 42，这在方法之间没有差异 ( p  > .05)。BEVQ-15 与总饮料摄入量 fl oz 和 kcal 的膳食回忆结果之间存在中度关联（r  = .413 和r  = 4.65；p≤ .05，分别）。研究人员评定和参与者评定的 UC 与尿比重测量值之间存在强关联（分别为r  = .675 和r  = .884；p  ≤ .05）。因此，这些快速评估方法证明了可接受的有效性，并可用作确定运动员是否满足其补水建议的实用方法。
