Study Notes

KINE 442 - Exercise Physiology

Course: KINE 442
Topic: Dehydration during Exercise

Dehydration During Exercise

How Dehydration Occurs: Water is lost through sweating, a mechanism for dissipating heat generated during exercise. The effectiveness of cooling depends on humidity.
Water loss comes from intracellular and extracellular compartments (including plasma, muscle tissue, and skin) and internal organs (including bone).
Dehydration Symptoms: Dehydration leads to negative effects on aerobic and anaerobic performance. Loss of up to 5% of total body mass results in strength decrements, while 3-4% can reduce endurance.
Cardiovascular Effects: Dehydration decreases plasma volume, increases systemic resistance, and decreases blood pressure, heart rate, stroke volume, and cardiac output.
Metabolic Effects: Dehydration decreases optimal oxygen uptake and peak lactate values, affecting lactate threshold and using more glycogen during exercise. Exercising feels more difficult.
Thermoregulation Effects: Dehydration increases core temperature, decreases sweat rate, and reduces skin blood flow.
Anaerobic Capabilities: Increased dehydration leads to declines in anaerobic performance; however, strength and anaerobic performance are less affected than aerobic capabilities by dehydration as plasma volume and cardiac output do not directly impact anaerobic activity to the same degree.
Strength decrements are more likely in the upper body.
Factors influencing the needed fluid intake: Body mass and the level of heat and humidity.
Marathon Endurance: Dehydration reduces endurance capabilities by as little as 2% of total body mass. Fluids should be ingested to prevent dehydration and replenish electrolytes.

Physiology of Dehydration During Exercise (Continued)

Freestyle wrestling: Caloric and fluid restriction used to achieve weight class; dehydration (5-6%) may impact strength and anaerobic performance. Dehydration is one factor in significant decreases in certain physiological measures during a tournament, but isn't the only aspect affecting sports performance.
Basketball & Soccer: Dehydration negatively impacts aerobic and anaerobic capabilities; such as decreasing shooting percentage, repeated sprint ability, lateral movement and decreased performance in Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test.
Factors affecting susceptibility: Environmental factors like high temperature and humidity, weight-class sports, protective equipment, dark-colored clothing, illnesses (fever or diarrhea), and age.
Protective gear (especially dark clothing) can impede thermoregulation because they trap heat.

Hydration Assessment Methods

Field Methods: Assessing body mass (±1% of pre-exercise value) and urine color are common methods to gauge hydration status (with lighter color indicative of better hydration). Hydration is affected by supplements and fluids consumed recently.
Laboratory Methods: Dilution methods (measuring plasma osmolarity) and using urine's specific gravity and osmolality can also determine hydration levels.
Table of Hydration Status: Provides a way to understand hydration status based on body mass change and urine color. The table correlates body mass change (in percentage) with the intensity of dehydration, with clearer urine indicating better hydration and darker urine indicating dehydration.

Hyponatremia

Definition: Hyponatremia is a condition resulting from drinking too much water ("water intoxication"). Low blood sodium levels.
Causes: Leads to osmotic imbalance; excessive fluid intake or excessive sodium loss in sweat.
Effects of Hyponatremia: Fluid shifts to the brain, leading to swelling (which causes confusion, disorientation, weakness, seizures, coma, even death). Women are more susceptible.

Maintaining Hydration

Hydration Guidelines: Start in a hydrated state; continue to hydrate throughout activity; rehydrate after activity.
Fluids should be palatable (taste good) and cool and contain electrolytes
Hydration plans should be individualized and adjusted for changing seasons and conditions.
Examples of When to Drink: Hydrate 2 hours before exercise, 10-15 minutes before, during every 10-15 minutes of activity, after activity and every 15 minutes, or at comfortable intervals.
