Inverse relationship between post-race sodium concentration and ____

% change in body mass; Less weight loss = higher sodium concentrations

Bernard milieu interieur

- (the environment within) - represents the underlying principle of homeostasis first used by Harvard physiologist Walter Cannon who also coined the term "fight-or-flight"

ACSM recommendation for sodium in sports drinks

- 3 L/hr - 12 L/day (26 lb)

Recommended fluid intake before exercise

- 400 - 600 mL (12 - 20 oz) about 20 minutes before exercise - this increases stomach volume, optimizing gastric emptying rate

Elite marathon runners experience fluid loss in excess of ___ L

- 5L; 6-10% of body mass

How long does it take to acclimate to stressful environments? How long to lose the acclimation?

- 8 - 14 to acclimate - 14 - 28 days to lose it

For each liter of sweat loss-induced dehydration, HR increases ____ beat/min

- 8 beat/min --- = 1.0 L/min decrease in cardiac output

Heat Index

- AKA Apparent Temperature - Made by US National Weather Service - Evaluates relative heat stress --exposure to full sunshine increases values by up to 15 degrees F

Hyponatremia

- AKA water intoxication - occurs when serum sodium concentration falls below 135 mEq/L (below 125 causes severe symptoms) - creates osmotic imbalance across blood-brain barrier causing rapid water influx into the brain

Men vs. Women

- Acclimate to similar degree - Women have more sweat glands but sweat less, therefore decreasing likelihood for dehydration - Women begin sweating at higher core temperatures than men - Women have equal heat tolerance to men despite decreased sweating - Women rely more on circulation to dissipate heat while men rely more on evaporation - Women cool off at a faster rate than men (possibly because body surface area-to-mass-ratio)

Heat acclimatization and sweat

- As acclimatization progresses, more blood shunts to cutaneous vessels to facilitate heat transfer from core to periphery - more effective cardiac output maintains blood pressure - lowered threshold for sweat (capacity nearly doubles with less dilution (less salt loss)) - These people require more water due to increased sweat loss

What is the main "workhorse" to control thermal balance?

- Circulatory system

Thermal balance and blood flow

- Heat conservation - -- shunting blood deep to cranial, thoracic, and abdominal cavities, optimizing insulation from fat and other areas of the body's shell - Heat loss -- peripheral vessels dilate to channel warm blood to cooler periphery

Cutaneous thermal receptors

- act as an "early warning system" that relays sensory information to the hypothalamus and cerebral cortex - the more numerous receptors usually exist near skin surface and play important role in initiating regulatory response to cold environments

Peripheral thermal receptors

- are responsive to rapid changes in heat and cold and exist predominantly as free nerve endings in the skin

Food intake in hot environments

- athletes voluntarily eat less calories in hotter environments with protein remaining the same but fat and carbs being less

Heat loss by radiation

- body is usually warmer than the environment and therefore the body emits electromagnetic heat waves into the environment - does not require molecular contact between objects - the body absorbs radiant heat energy when temperature in the environment exceeds skin temperature

Exercising in colder environments

- can create a 1 L daily fluid loss - Can increase urine production, further leading to fluid loss

Easy way to indicate extent of water loss/gain during/after exercise

- change in body weight

Mineral metabolism due to hot environmental exercise

- changes in chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, and zinc metabolism occur; extent unknown

Children and sweating

- children have more sweat glands but sweat less - compared to adults, children have lower Na, Cl, lactate, H+, and K concentrations in sweat - children take longer to acclimatize to heat --should exercise at lower intensity

Clothing and heat

- cotton and linen absorbs moisture - black clothes absorb light rays, adding to heat gain - Football players at high risk of heat stroke due to heavy equipment and body surface coverage

Heat loss by convection

- effectiveness depends on how rapidly air near the body exchanges once it warms - if no air movement, warmed air next to the skin remains in place and is counter-productive to heat loss, actually causing a zone of insulation - if cooler air continuously replaces the warmed air, heat loss occurs - air currents moving at 4mph cool twice as effectively as air moving at 1 mph`

Wet Bulb-Globe Temperature (WB-GT)

- evaluates environment for its potential thermal challenge - WB-GT = 0.1 x DBT + 0.7 x WBT + 0.2 x GT --DBT = Dry-bulb air --WBT = Wet-bulb air (70% of the index) -- GT = global temperature

Heat loss by evaporation

- evaporation of sweat provides major mechanisms of heat loss and defense against overheating - 1 L of evaporized sweat transfers 580 kcal of heat from the body - 2-4 million sweat (eccrine) glands secrete hypotonic saline solution (0.2 - 0.4% NaCl)

Fluid ingestion should occur how often for hourly losses up to 1000 mL water loss? Over 1000 mL?

- every 15 minutes - every 10 minutes

Voluntary replacement of water lost

- most people only replace 1/2 of water lost (<500 mL/hr) voluntarily

What exerts the greatest impact on the effectiveness of evaporative heat loss?

- relative humidity

Aldosterone

- released by adrenal cortex during repeated days of exercise in heat - sodium conserving hormone that increases the renal tubules' reabsorption of sodium and also decreases sodium in sweat (reducing osmolality), aiding in electrolyte conservation

Antidiuretic Hormone (Vasopressin)

- released by pituitary gland during heat exposure - increases water reabsorption from kidney tubules that causes urine to become more concentrated

Hypothalamus

- specialized neurons on the floor of the brain that regulates temperature (~37 degrees Celsius +- 1) - cannot turn off heat, can only start responses to protect body from heat gain or loss

Sodium content of typical sports drinks compared to normal plasma ranges

- sports drink = 10 - 25 mmol/L Na - plasma = 138 - 142 mmol/L Na

Heat loss by conduction

- transfers heat directly through solid, liquid, or gas from one molecule to another - the rate of conductive heat loss depends on existence of temperature gradient between the skin and surrounding surfaces and their thermal qualities

Diuretics for water loss

- trigger disproportionate reduction in plasma volume - impairs neuromuscular function - causes mineral loss and muscle weakness if excessive diarrhea and vomiting

Erythropoietin

-an illegal hormone that boosts production of red blood cells - illegal users experience an even greater risk of heat injury due to increased viscosity from increased hematocrit which magnifies as dehydration progresses

How much sweat is lost over 1 hour of moderate exercise?

0.5 - 1.5 L

Fluid loss of ___% body mass increases rectal temperature above that with the same exercise performed when fully hydrated

1%

Effects of heat rate on gastric emptying rate

"probably decrease, with mechanisms remaining unclear but possibly relating to dehydration"

Heat Cramps

- involuntary muscle spasms during or after PA - most likely occurs from imbalance in hydration and electrolytes - Prevention: 1. hydration with water + salt 2. increasing daily salt intake

Heat Exhaustion

- most common heat illness - occurs because of ineffective circulatory adjustments compounded by decreased plasma volume - blood pools in peripheral vessels, reducing central blood volume - symptoms include: weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea, low BP, weak and rapid pulse, and "goose bumps" - fluids should be given with 5% dextrose sugar in either 0.45% NaCl or 0.9% NaCl
