39
Q

Distribution of water throughout the body is regulated by

A

both the volume of water and the osmolarity of the extracellular fluid

41
Q

factors in exercise, sweat, and water loss

A
  • exercise intensity
  • environmental conditions
  • clothing
  • training status
42
Q

Body temperature rises with exercise, but replacing fluid to slow or prevent dehydration prevents

A

the excessive rise in body temperature that occurs when no fluid is consumed.

47
Q

hypovolemia

A

loss of blood volume

48
Q

hypovolemia affects

A

53
Q

urine samples should be taken when

A

first thing in the morning

54
Q

how should athletes assess their hydration status

A
  • are they thirsty
  • is their urine dark yellow
  • has their body weight noticeably decreased since the previous morning

    two: likely
    three: very likely
55
Q

Being fully hydrated prior to exercise
If not fully hydrated, rehydrating to the greatest extent possible
Avoiding gastrointestinal upset
Consuming carbohydrate, if appropriate

56
Q

hydration goals during training

A

Replacing lost body water to the extent possible
Slowing dehydration to the extent possible
Avoiding the overconsumption of water and other hypotonic fluids
Replacing sodium if losses are large or rapid
Consuming carbohydrate if appropriate
Avoiding gastrointestinal upset
Customized to consider sweat rate, sweat composition, duration, clothing, and environmental conditions

57
Q

hydration goals after training and performance

A

Restoring lost body water to achieve euhydration
Replacing sodium and other electrolytes lost
Consuming adequate carbohydrate to fully restore muscle glycogen
Consuming adequate protein to build and repair skeletal muscle

58
Q

t or f: most body water is found in the ECF

A

false

59
Q

t or f: in ECF, the major cation is potassium, and the major anions are chloride and bicarbonate

A

false

60
Q

t or f: aerobic metabolism is a source of water for the body

A

true

61
Q

t or f: hyperhydration is ideal for athletes bc this state ensures the athlete will stay hydrated throughout the activity

A

false

62
Q

t or f: inc water vapor in the air reduces the ability of sweat secreted onto the skin to cool the body through evaporation

A

true

63
Q

t or f: Body temperature rises with exercise, but replacing fluid to slow or prevent dehydration prevents the excessive rise in body temperature that occurs when no fluid is consumed.

A

true

64
Q

t or f: Heavy sweating results in sodium loss that should be replaced during exercise if the duration of the activity exceeds 1 to 2 hours.

A

true

65
Q

t or f: If an athlete consumes a typical amount of dietary sodium, there is little need for the fluid replacement beverage to contain sodium unless the exercise duration is more than 2 hours and there is a very high sweat rate.

A

true

66
Q

t or f: To rehydrate after exercise, athletes should drink one pint (two cups) of fluid for every pound lost.

A

false

67
Q

t or f: Preventing hyponatremia is a twofold process: prevention of fluid overload and underdrinking, and replacement of potassium.

A

false

68
Q

strategy to prevent hyponatremia

A

prevention of fluid overload or overdrinking, and replacement of sodium.

69
Q

fluid replacement to restore a one-pound water loss

A

~700 mL

70
Q

why is hyperhydration dangerous

A

because excess water can dilute the concentration of solutes in the extracellular fluid, particularly sodium, resulting in hyponatremia.

71
Q

Correct. In extracellular fluid, the major cation (positively charged ion) is ____ and the major anions (negatively charged ions) are ___ and ____

A

sodium; chloride; bicarbonate

72
Q

In which compartment is the largest amount of body fluid stored?

A

intracellular fluid

73
Q

Having a normal or optimal amount of water in the body, sufficient to support fluid balance and meet required physiological functions, would be termed:

A

euhydration

74
Q

Which of the following electrolytes might be deficient in the diet of a person from an industrialized country (for example, the United States)?

A

potassium

75
Q

Wearing uniforms and protective gear while exercising in the heat typically:

A

restricts the evaporation of sweat and results in body temperature rising.

76
Q

A person exercising in a hot and humid environment might lose how much fluid through sweating?

A

1 to 2 L per hour

77
Q

Water only is an appropriate pre-exercise beverage for:

A

exercise lasting less than 60 minutes.

78
Q

Two factors that may be associated with hyponatremia include:

A

large losses of sodium in sweat and excessive water intake.
