CARBOHYDRATE EXERTS A MILD INFLUENCE ON FLUID RETENTION FOLLOWING EXERCISE-INDUCED DEHYDRATION.
Rapid and complete rehydration, or restoration of fluid spaces, is important when acute illness or excessive sweating has compromised hydration status. Many studies have investigated the effects of graded concentrations of sodium and other electrolytes [...]
DEHYDRATION IMPAIRS VIGILANCE-RELATED ATTENTION IN MALE BASKETBALL PLAYERS
PURPOSE: To determine the effects of dehydration (DEH) on attentional vigilance in male basketball players. METHODS: The Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA; Universal Attention Disorders) was administered to 11 male basketball players (17-28 yr) [...]
PRIOR HEAT STRESS: EFFECT ON SUBSEQUENT 15-MIN TIME TRIAL PERFORMANCE IN THE HEAT.
The impact of prior heat stress on subsequent aerobic exercise-heat performance has not been studied. PURPOSE: To determine whether prior heat stress degrades subsequent aerobic exercise performance in the heat. METHODS: Eighteen nonheat acclimated males [...]
THERMOREGULATION AND MARATHON RUNNING: BIOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES
The extreme physical endurance demands and varied environmental settings of marathon footraces have provided a unique opportunity to study the limits of human thermoregulation for more than a century. High post-race rectal temperatures (Tre) are [...]
