Effect of dehydration on gastrointestinal function at rest and during exercise in humans
Dehydration leads to the aggravation of gastrointestinal (GI) complaints during exercise. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of dehydration on various GI parameters during strenuous exercise. Ten healthy well-trained men were [...]
Low body weight: a simple indicator of the risk of dehydration among children with diarrhoea.
The early identification of children at high risk of dehydration as a consequence of diarrhoea would be of great value for health care workers in developing countries. By comparing children aged less than two years [...]
Human tolerance to heat strain during exercise: influence of hydration.
This study determined whether 1) exhaustion from heat strain occurs at the same body temperatures during exercise in the heat when subjects are euhydrated as when they are hypohydrated, 2) aerobic fitness influences the body [...]
Dehydration reduces cardiac output and increases systemic and cutaneous vascular resistance during exercise
This investigation determined the manner in which the cardiovascular system copes with the dehydration-induced reductions in cardiac output (Q) during prolonged exercise in the heat. On two separate occasions, seven endurance-trained subjects (maximal O2 consumption [...]
