METABOLIC INDICATORS OF HYDRATION STATUS IN THE PREDICTION OF PAROTID SALIVARY-GLAND FUNCTION
Salivary glands require body fluids for normal function. It has been suggested that decreased levels of hydration (dehydration) may cause diminished salivary output, but it is not known whether salivary flow rates are related to [...]
THERMOREGULATION IN HYPERHYDRATED MEN DURING PHYSICAL EXERCISE
The influence of hyperhydration on thermoregulatory function was tested in 8 male volunteers. The subjects performed cycle exercise in the upright position at 52% Vo2max for 45 min in a thermoneutral (Ta = 23 degrees [...]
HEAT STRESS IMPAIRMENT OF MENTAL PERFORMANCE: A REVISION OF TOLERANCE LIMITS
A time-related, heat stress tolerance curve for unimpaired mental performance was constructed by Wing from a summary of 15 studies. The tolerance limits, more properly described as the lower limits for heat impaired mental performance, [...]
