This study examined the effects of hyperhydration on thermoregulatory responses during compensable exercise-heat stress. The general approach was to determine whether 1-h preexercise hyperhydration [29. 1 ml/kg lean body mass; with or without glycerol (1.2 g/kg lean body mass)] would improve sweating responses and reduce core temperature during exercise. During these experiments, the evaporative heat [...]
The effect of different heat loads on vigilance and complex cognitive tasks involved in a mission of different intensities were examined. Nine healthy volunteers were randomly exposed for 2 h to three climatic conditions: comfort (21 degrees C ET), moderate heat load (30 degrees C ET) and severe heat load (35 degrees C ET). The [...]
This study examined the influence of water ingestion on endurance capacity during submaximal treadmill running. Four men and four women with a mean (+/-S.E.) age of 21.4 +/- 0.7 years, height of 169 +/- 2 cm, body mass of 63.1 +/- 2.9 kg and VO2 max of 51.1 +/- 1.8 ml kg-1 min-1, performed two [...]
This study investigated the individual and combined effects of water and carbohydrate ingestion during prolonged cycling on maximal neuromuscular power (P(max)), thermoregulation, cardiovascular function, and metabolism. Eight endurance-trained cyclists exercised for 122 min at 62% maximal oxygen uptake in a 35 degrees C environment (50% relative humidity, 2 m/s fan speed). P(max) was measured in [...]

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between taste preference and total fluid intake during a 90-min run at 60% VO2max as well as during a 90-min period of seated recovery under hyperthermic conditions (30 degrees C, 50% RH), comparing the ad libitum intake of water and two carbohydrate-electrolyte drinks (one [...]
