EFFECTS OF ACUTE PLASMA VOLUME EXPANSION ON ALTERING EXERCISE-HEAT PERFORMANCE
To determine the effect an acute plasma volume expansion has on body temperature responses and exercise performance in the heat, seven unacclimatized male volunteers attempted to complete two 90-min walks (45% of VO2 max) in [...]
HYPOHYDRATION AND THERMOREGULATION IN COLD AIR
This study examined the effects of hypohydration on thermoregulation during cold exposure. In addition, the independent influences of hypohydration-associated hypertonicity and hypovolemia were investigated. Nine male volunteers were monitored for 30 min at 25 degrees [...]
REVIEW: EXERCISE, HEAT, HYDRATION AND THE BRAIN
The performance of both physical and mental tasks can be adversely affected by heat and by dehydration. There are well-recognized effects of heat and hydration status on the cardiovascular and thermoregulatory systems that can account [...]
BIOIMPEDANCE ASSESSMENT OF HYPOHYDRATION.
PURPOSE: This study examined the utility of bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) for assessing total body water (TBW) changes associated with moderate (6-7% TBW), hypertonic (HH), and isotonic (IH) hypohydration. METHODS: The TBW of nine men was [...]
