Lecture 5 - Hydration Flashcards
what is euhydration
normal state of body water
what is hyperhydration
a sustained increased state in body water
what is hypohydration
a sustained decreased state in body water
what is dehydration
the process of losing body water, rather than a state of low body water
how does the body gain water
metabolic water production
food
drink
how does the body lose water
faecal
respiratory
urine
sweat
what are the negatives to measuring pre exercise hydration with urine osmolarity
- accuracy needs first void sample
- expensive
what are the negatives to measuring pre exercise hydration with urine specific gravity
accuracy needs first void sample
what are the positives to measuring pre exercise hydration with urine specific gravity
relatively cheap and quick results
what are the positives to measuring pre exercise hydration with urine colour
very cheap and quick results
good education tool
what are the negaitves to measuring pre exercise hydration with urine colour
accuracy needs first void sample
affected by other dietary components
what is the negaitve to measuring pre exercise hydration with serum osmolarity
expensive
what is the positive to measuring pre exercise hydration with serum osmolarity
accuracy gold standard
what are the guidelines to hydration in exercise
begin exercise euhydrated
slowly drink 5-7 ml/kg at least 4 hours prior to exercise
if urine still dark drink further 3-5 ml/kg 2 hours prior
what does dehydration cause a decrease in
decrease in skill and mental performance
what does dehydration open
opening of the blood brain barrier
what does dehydration increase
increased perception of effort
what is the equation to measure sweat loss used in practice
sweat loss (L) = Body mass loss (kg) + fluid intake (L) - urine produced (L)
what is the equation to measure dehydration used in practice
dehydration = (body mass loss / initial body mass) *100
in terms of hydration during training, do players know what they are doing
not really
what are the possible effects of over hydration
- increase in body mass
- urination
- dilution of blood sodium
- possibly hyponatremia
what is hyponatremia linked to
serum sodium concentration
what are the symptoms related to hyponatremia
- fatigue
- lethargy
- brain aneurisms
- possible death
what are the risk factors to hyponatremia
- exercise duration >4h
- slow speeds
- females
- low body weight
- excessive fluid intakes
- non steroidal anti inflammatories
- extreme environments
