The aim of this study was to examine whether ingesting water alone, or dextrose (7.5 g x 100 ml(-1)) with electrolytes, or fructose/corn solids (7.5 g x 100 ml(-1)) (400 ml every 20 min) would reduce the perceived exertion associated with 16 km (3 h) walking/running in the heat compared with that perceived during exercise [...]
After a control experiment under initial normal hydration (N), five healthy unacclimated subjects were studied to investigate the effects of initial hypo- and hyperhydration on cardiovascular and thermo-regulatory responses to prolonged intermittent exercise in the heat (To = 36 degrees C; Tdp = 10 degrees C; Va = 0.6 m.s-1). Prior hydrohydration (O) was obtained [...]
This report describes a series of hyponatremia hospitalizations associated with heat-related injuries and apparent over-hydration. Data from the U.S. Army Inpatient Data System were used to identify all hospitalizations for hyposmolality/hyponatremia from 1996 and 1997. Admissions were considered as probable cases of overhydration hyponatremia if this was the only, or primary, diagnosis or if it [...]
Although exercise may be beneficial in cystic fibrosis (CF), patients' low tolerance to climatic heat stress means that physical exertion can increase morbid

During the bed-rest in the young subjects, the water intake should be depressed, because the diuretic is probably accelerated, and then the total body water and body weight is decreased by the water loss. In our previous study in 1991, we have reported that urinary volume was gradually increased, while water intake was decreased. Therefore, [...]
As part of a large-scale field feeding system test we were able to collect and study hundreds of aliquots of overnight urine samples obtained immediately prior to a fasting blood sample on days 1, 20, and 44 of the field test. The large number of experimental samples (greater than 650) and concomitant collection of blood [...]
