Lecture I Flashcards
Water comprises —-of a person’ body weight
60-70%
Muscle tissue is how much water
70-75%
Amount of Na in perspiration
0.9 g/L
Muscle cramp is due to
Skeletal muscle overload and fatigue
Excessive sweat losses associated with a decreased level of electrolytes (specifically sodium )
This electrolyte is crucial to heart function
Potassium
What happens in skeletal muscle overload and fatigue
The part of the neuromuscular system that initiates contraction is increased while the part of the neuromuscular system that inhibits contraction is decreased
What part of neuromuscular system inhibits contraction
Golgi tendon organ
In skeletal muscle overload and fatigue you dont see a generalized muscle cramping
T
In dehydration you see a generalized muscle cramp
T
Human sweat contains how much sodium
40-50 mmol per liter
920-1150 mg/L
For liquids the principle determinant of rate of gastric emptying is
Volume and
Composition
Progressive dehydration in their study caused what to increase over time
Heart rate
Core temp
Perceived exertion rating
Progressive dehydration in their study caused what to decrease over time
Blood volume
Stroke volume
Cardiac output
Skin blood flow
Optimal fluid intake
1-1.5 ml of fluids for each kilocalorie that is expended
T/F
CHO exerts a mild influence on fluid retention following exercise -induced dehydration
T
The solutions contacting —–CHO and electrolytes was associated with the greatest fluid retention compared with the rest
12%
No significant differences in fluid retention between beverages contains —- and —– CHO and the placebos with electrolytes
3% and 6%
Why CHO dose could impact fluid retention
Raises both caloric content and osmolarity
Both characteristic can reduce the rate of gastric emptying and rate of fluid absorption
Insulin effect on Sodium
Increase urinary sodium reabsorption
Renin increases
Blood pressure
