ALTITUDE ACCLIMATIZATION AND BLOOD VOLUME: EFFECTS OF EXOGENOUS ERYTHROCYTE VOLUME EXPANSION.
We studied sea-level residents during 13 days of altitude acclimatization to determine 1) altitude acclimatization effects on erythrocyte volume and plasma volume, 2) if exogenous erythrocyte volume expansion alters subsequent erythrocyte volume and plasma volume [...]
INFLUENCE OF HYDRATION STATUS AND FLUID REPLACEMENT ON HEAT TOLERANCE WHILE WEARING NBC PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the influence of hypohydration and fluid replacement on tolerance to an uncompensable heat stress. Eight healthy young males completed a matrix of six trials in an [...]
WATER TURNOVER AND BODY COMPOSITION DURING LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO HIGH ALTITUDE (4,900A–7,600 M).
Thirteen healthy subjects (11 men and 2 women; 30.2 +/- 5.4 yr; 73.5 +/- 10.3 kg; 178.9 +/- 10.4 cm; body mass index, 22.9 +/- 1.6 kg/m2) participated at the 62-day expedition to the Broad [...]
BLOOD VOLUME: IMPORTANCE AND ADAPTATIONS TO EXERCISE TRAINING, ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSES, AND TRAUMA/SICKNESS.
This paper reviews the influence of several perturbations (physical exercise, heat stress, terrestrial altitude, microgravity, and trauma/sickness) on adaptations of blood volume (BV), erythrocyte volume (EV), and plasma volume (PV). Exercise training can induce BV [...]
