INTRAVENOUS VERSUS ORAL REHYDRATION IN ATHLETES

Fluid is typically administered via intravenous (IV) infusion to athletes who develop clinical symptoms of heat illness, based on the perception that dehydration is a primary factor contributing to the condition. However, other athletes also voluntarily rehydrate with IV fluid as opposed to, or in conjunction with, oral rehydration. The voluntary use of IV fluids [...]

BIKE TRANSALP 2008: LIQUID INTAKE AND ITS EFFECT ON THE BODY’S FLUID HOMEOSTASIS IN THE COURSE OF A MULTISTAGE, CROSS-COUNTRY, MTB MARATHON RACE IN THE CENTRAL ALPS

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the drinking behavior of the participants in a multi-day mountain bike (MTB) cross-country competition, to monitor its effect on the body's fluid compartments and body mass, and to evaluate the prevalence of exercise-associated dysnatremia. DESIGN: Descriptive field study. SETTING: The Jeantex Bike Transalp Competition 2008 (8 stages; 665.40 km; 21 691 m [...]

THE EFFECTS OF FLUID INGESTION ON FREE-PACED INTERMITTENT-SPRINT PERFORMANCE AND PACING STRATEGIES IN THE HEAT

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of fluid ingestion on pacing strategies and performance during intermittent-sprint exercise in the heat. Nine male rugby players performed a habituation session and 2 50-min intermittent-sprint protocols at a temperature of 31°C, either with or without fluid. Participants were informed of a third session (not [...]

EXPANDED PREDICTION EQUATIONS OF HUMAN SWEAT LOSS AND WATER NEEDS

The Institute of Medicine expressed a need for improved sweating rate (msw) prediction models that calculate hourly and daily water needs based on metabolic rate, clothing, and environment. More than 25 years ago, the original Shapiro prediction equation (OSE) was formulated as msw (g.m(-2).h(-1))=27.9.Ereq.(Emax)(-0.455), where Ereq is required evaporative heat loss and Emax is maximum [...]

FITNESS ALTERS FLUID REGULATORY BUT NOT BEHAVIOURAL RESPONSES TO HYPOHYDRATED EXERCISE

Dehydration is typical during prolonged exercise. Because training stimulates numerous adaptations, some involving fluid regulation, it is conceivable that training involves adaptations to dehydration. This study tested the hypothesis that trained individuals have altered fluid regulatory, but not behavioural or perceptual responses to exercise when hypohydrated. Six trained (V.O2 peak: 65 ± 8 mL kg− [...]

FLUID CONSUMPTION AND SWEATING IN NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE AND COLLEGIATE FOOTBALL PLAYERS WITH DIFFERENT ACCESS TO FLUIDS DURING PRACTICE

CONTEXT: Considerable controversy regarding fluid replacement during exercise currently exists. OBJECTIVE: To compare fluid turnover between National Football League (NFL) players who have constant fluid access and collegiate football players who replace fluids during water breaks in practices. DESIGN: Observational study. SETTING: Respective preseason training camps of 1 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II (DII) [...]

FLUID REPLACEMENT FOLLOWING DEHYDRATION REDUCES OXIDATIVE STRESS DURING RECOVERY.

To investigate the effects of hydration status on oxidative DNA damage and exercise performance, 10 subjects ran on a treadmill until exhaustion at 80% VO(2max) during four different trials [control (C), 3% dehydration (D), 3% dehydration+water (W) or 3% dehydration+sports drink (S)]. Dehydration significantly decreased exercise time to exhaustion (D

THE INFLUENCE OF NUTRITIONAL ERGOGENIC AIDS ON EXERCISE HEAT TOLERANCE AND HYDRATION STATUS.

Exercise in the heat may predispose an athlete to an exertional heat illness. It is imperative to be knowledgeable on the influence of various nutritional supplements on exercise tolerance and hydration status. Because of the variety of nutritional ergogenic aids that are easily accessible to athletes, medical and health professionals must rely on empirical evidence [...]

HYPOHYDRATION AND EXERCISE: EFFECTS OF HEAT ACCLIMATION, GENDER, AND ENVIRONMENT

This study examined the effects of heat acclimation and subject gender on treadmill exercise in comfortable (20 degrees C, 40% rh), hot-dry (49 degrees C, 20% rh), and hot-wet (35 degrees C, 79% rh) environments while subjects were hypo- or euhydrated. Six male and six female subjects, matched for maximal aerobic power and percent body [...]

COMPARISON OF FLUID BALANCE BETWEEN COMPETITIVE SWIMMERS AND LESS ACTIVE ADOLESCENTS.

The aim of this study was to compare daily hydration profiles of competitive adolescent swimmers and less active maturation- and sex-matched controls. Hydration profiles of 35 competitive adolescent swimmers (male n = 18, female n = 17) and 41 controls (male n = 29, female n = 12) were monitored on 4 consecutive days. First [...]
