NATIONAL ATHLETIC TRAINERSA’ ASSOCIATION POSITION STATEMENT: FLUID REPLACEMENT FOR ATHLETES
OBJECTIVE: To present recommendations to optimize the fluid-replacement practices of athletes. BACKGROUND: Dehydration can compromise athletic performance and increase the risk of exertional heat injury. Athletes do not voluntarily drink sufficient water to prevent dehydration [...]
GASTRIC EMPTYING DURING EXERCISE: EFFECTS OF HEAT STRESS AND HYPOHYDRATION
To determine the effects of acute heat stress, heat acclimation and hypohydration on the gastric emptying rate of water (W) during treadmill exercise, ten physically fit men ingested 400 ml of W before each of [...]
GASTRIC EMPTYING DURING WALKING AND RUNNING: EFFECTS OF VARIED EXERCISE INTENSITY
Gastric emptying is increased during running (50%-70% maximal aerobic uptake, VO2max) as compared to rest. Whether this increase varies as a function of mode (i.e. walking vs running) and intensity of treadmill exercise is unknown. [...]
HYPOHYDRATION EFFECTS ON SKELETAL MUSCLE PERFORMANCE AND METABOLISM: A 31P-MRS STUDY
The purpose of this study was to determine whether hypohydration reduces skeletal muscle endurance and whether increased H+ and Pi might contribute to performance degradation. Ten physically active volunteers (age 21-40 yr) performed supine single-leg, [...]
