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 AND ELECTROLYTE BALANCE: THE IMPACT OF GOAL DIRECTED TEACHING

Background & aimsnWe aimed to determine if a structured workshop on fluid and electrolyte balance for junior surgical trainees led to an improvement in knowledge on the subject and to evaluate the perceived helpfulness of such a workshop.nnMethodsnSurgical trainees attended an interactive lecture-based workshop on fluid and electrolyte balance. Participants had online access to the [...]

REDUCED THIRST AFTER WATER DEPRIVATION IN HEALTHY ELDERLY MEN

To determine whether responses to dehydration are altered with age, we investigated the thirst, fluid and electrolyte responses, and hormonal responses to 24 hours of water deprivation in seven healthy active elderly men (67 to 75 years old) and seven healthy young men (20 to 31 years old) who were matched for weight loss during [...]

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) [...]

RESPONSE TO A FLUID LOAD IN ATHLETES WITH A HISTORY OF EXERCISE INDUCED HYPONATREMIA

PURPOSE: To determine whether athletes who had previously developed hyponatremia during an ultradistance triathlon show an impaired ability to excrete a large fluid load compared with athletes who had completed the same race without developing hyponatremia. METHODS: Six athletes who had developed hyponatremia ([Na] < 135 mmol x L(-1)) in the 1997 Ironman Triathlon (study [...]

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
