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 C, then for 120 min at 7 degrees C, under three counterbalanced conditions: euhydration (Eu), hypertonic hypohydration (HH), and isotonic [...]

INFLUENCE OF INGESTED FLUID VOLUME ON PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES DURING PROLONGED EXERCISE

The effect of different rates of fluid ingestion on heart rate, rectal temperature, plasma electrolytes, hormones and performance was examined during prolonged strenuous exercise conducted at 21 degrees C. Seven well-trained males (24 +/- 1 yr; 68.6 +/- 2.9 kg; VO2 peak = 4.69 +/- 0.17 L min-1; mean +/- SEM) cycled for 2 h [...]

THERMAL AND CIRCULATORY RESPONSES TO REPEATED BOUTS OF PROLONGED RUNNING

The purpose of this study was to determine the thermal and circulatory responses of seven runners (X VO2max = 66 ml kg min) to two bouts of high intensity prolonged treadmill running (PTR) [each 80-min at 70% VO2max] spaced by a 90-min rest. After the transition to exercise, oxygen uptake (VO2) and percent change in [...]

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 measured using BIS (TBWBIS) when euhydrated (EU) and during HH and IH. These measurements were compared with TBW measurements obtained [...]

REHYDRATION WITH DRINKS DIFFERING IN SODIUM CONCENTRATION AND RECOVERY FROM MODERATE EXERCISE-INDUCED HYPOHYDRATION IN MAN.

To investigate how differing moderate sodium chloride concentrations affect rehydration after exercise and subsequent exercise capacity, eight males lost 1.98 +/- 0.1% body mass exercising in the heat, then consumed one of four drinks in a volume equivalent to 150% of mass loss. Drinks were identical except for sodium chloride content (1 +/- 1, 31 [...]

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 a hot/dry (45 degrees C/20% rh) environment. The experimental walk was preceded by an infusion of human albumin (50 g [...]

THE INFLUENCE OF VOLUME ON GASTRIC EMPTYING AND FLUID BALANCE DURING PROLONGED EXERCISE

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of ingesting approximately 800, 1200, or 1600 ml.h-1 of a carbohydrate (CHO) solution on gastric emptying (GE), ratings of stomach fullness (RF), plasma volume changes (PVC), electrolytes, fluid loss, and blood glucose (BG) during 2 h of cycling at 70% of VO2max. Eight male cyclists [...]
