BLOOD VOLUME: ITS ADAPTATION TO ENDURANCE TRAINING.
Expansion of blood volume (hypervolemia) has been well documented in both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies as a consequence of endurance exercise training. Plasma volume expansion can account for nearly all of the exercise-induced hypervolemia up [...]
ROLE OF DEHYDRATION IN HEAT STRESS-INDUCED VARIATIONS IN MENTAL PERFORMANCE.
Variation in mental performance under different levels of heat stress-induced dehydration was recorded in 11 subjects heat acclimatized to the tropicals. Dehydration was induced by a combination of water restriction and exercise in heat. The [...]
