Abstract
Background and objectives: In temperate environments, acute orally induced metabolic alkalosis alleviates exercise stress, as reflected in attenuated stress hormone responses to relatively short-duration exercise bouts. However, it is unknown whether the same phenomenon occurs during prolonged exercise in the heat. This study was undertaken with aim to test the hypothesis that ingestion of an alkalizing substance (sodium citrate; CIT) after dehydrating exercise would decrease blood levels of stress hormones during subsequent 40 km cycling time-trial (TT) in the heat. Materials and Methods: Male non-heat-acclimated athletes (n = 20) lost 4% of body mass by exercising in the heat. Then, during a 16 h recovery period prior to TT in a warm environment (32 °C), participants ate the prescribed food and ingested CIT (600 mg·kg-1) or placebo (PLC) in a double-blind, randomized, crossover manner with 7 days between the two trials. Blood aldosterone, cortisol, prolactin and growth hormone concentrations were measured before and after TT. Results: Total work performed during TT was similar in the two trials (p = 0.716). In CIT compared to PLC trial, lower levels of aldosterone occurred before (72%) and after (39%) TT (p ˂ 0.001), and acute response of aldosterone to TT was blunted (29%, p ˂ 0.001). Lower cortisol levels in CIT than in PLC trial occurred before (13%, p = 0.039) and after TT (14%, p = 0.001), but there were no between-trial differences in the acute responses of cortisol, prolactin or growth hormone to TT, or in concentrations of prolactin and growth hormone before or after TT (in all cases p > 0.05). Conclusions: Reduced aldosterone and cortisol levels after TT and blunted acute response of aldosterone to TT indicate that CIT ingestion during recovery after dehydrating exercise may alleviate stress during the next hard endurance cycling bout in the heat.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of fluid ingestion during exercise in different environments on the serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor and cognition among athletes. Ten collegiate male athletes (soccer, n = 5; rugby, n = 5) were enrolled, and they completed running tests in the following four conditions (60 min each): 1) thermoneutral temperature at 18°C (group 18); 2) high ambient temperature at 32°C without fluid ingestion (group 32); 3) high ambient temperature at 32°C with water ingestion (group 32+W); and 4) high ambient temperature at 32°C with sports drink ingestion (group 32+S). Serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels significantly increased in group 18 immediately after exercise when compared with those at rest and were significantly higher than those in group 32 immediately and 60 min after exercise (p < 0.05). In the Stroop Color and Word Test, significantly increased Word, Color, and Color-Word scores were observed in group 18 immediately after exercise compared to those at rest (p < 0.05). However, the Color-Word score appeared to be significantly lower in group 32 immediately after exercise compared to the other groups (p < 0.05) and at 60 min post-exercise compared to group 18 (p < 0.05). We found that the exercise performed in a thermoneutral environment improved cognitive function, but the exercise performed in a hot environment did not. The differences according to the exercise environment would be largely affected by brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and fluid ingestion regardless of the type of drink (water or sports beverage) was assumed to have contributed to the improvement in cognitive function caused by exercising in a hot environment.

Fitness alters fluid regulatory but not behavioural responses to hypohydrated exercise. Physiol Behav 2008; 95:348-52.

Abstract
Dehydration is typical during prolonged exercise. Because training stimulates numerous adaptations, some involving fluid regulation, it is conceivable that training involves adaptations to dehydration. This study tested the hypothesis that trained individuals have altered fluid regulatory, but not behavioural or perceptual responses to exercise when hypohydrated. Six trained (V.O2 peak: 65+/-8 mL kg(-1) min(-1)) and six untrained (V.O2 peak: 45+/-4 mL kg(-1) min(-1)) males cycled for 40 min at 70%V.O2 peak, once whilst euhydrated (EUH) and once whilst hypohydrated by ~2% body mass (HYPO), before a 40-min performance trial with euhydration (in EUH) or ad libitum drinking (in HYPO), in temperate conditions (24.3 degrees C, 50% rh). Baseline hydration was achieved by complete or partial rehydration from exercise+heat stress on the previous evening. Body mass was reduced (-1.8+/-0.1%) and plasma osmolality was increased (5+/-1 mosmol kg(-1)) similarly between fitness groups in HYPO compared to EUH (P<0.05). During exercise, plasma [AVP] rose more in HYPO than EUH; the elevation was greater in the Untrained (4.1+/-1.7 vs. 2.0+/-0.8 pmol L(-1), P<0.01) than Trained (1.4+/-0.6 vs. 1.1+/-0.5 pmol L(-1), P<0.01; P=0.02). Increases in plasma [AVP] relative to osmolality were higher in Untrained than Trained (0.47+/-0.06 vs. 0.025+/-0.05 pmol mosmol(-1), P=0.03). Fitness groups had equivalent thirst ratings during fixed exercise but Trained were thirstier than Untrained when self regulating in HYPO (4.0+/-1.5 vs. 2.7+/-1.2; P=0.05); thus Trained tended to consume more fluid (1.20+/-0.16 vs. 0.88+/-0.16 L; P=0.19), but maintained similar hypohydration consistent with their greater sweat rate during HYPO. In conclusion, aerobic fitness attenuates the neuroendocrine ([AVP]) response to hypohydrated exercise, but not perceptual (thirst) or behavioural (ad libitum drinking) responses.

Abstract
During exercise-heat stress, ad libitum drinking frequently fails to match sweat output, resulting in deleterious changes in hormonal, circulatory, thermoregulatory, and psychological status. This condition, known as voluntary dehydration, is largely based on perceived thirst. To examine the role of preexercise dehydration on thirst and drinking during exercise-heat stress, 10 healthy men (21 ± 1 yr, 57 ± 1 ml·kg−1·min−1 maximal aerobic power) performed four randomized walking trials (90 min, 5.6 km/h, 5% grade) in the heat (33°C, 56% relative humidity). Trials differed in preexercise hydration status [euhydrated (Eu) or hypohydrated to −3.8 ± 0.2% baseline body weight (Hy)] and water intake during exercise [no water (NW) or water ad libitum (W)]. Blood samples taken preexercise and immediately postexercise were analyzed for hematocrit, hemoglobin, serum aldosterone, plasma osmolality (Posm), plasma vasopressin (PAVP), and plasma renin activity (PRA). Thirst was evaluated at similar times using a subjective nine-point scale. Subjects were thirstier before (6.65 ± 0.65) and drank more during Hy+W (1.65 ± 0.18 liters) than Eu+W (1.59 ± 0.41 and 0.31 ± 0.11 liters, respectively). Postexercise measures of Posm and PAVP were significantly greater during Hy+NW and plasma volume lower [Hy+NW = −5.5 ± 1.4% vs. Hy+W = +1.0 ± 2.5% ( P = 0.059), Eu+NW = −0.7 ± 0.6% ( P < 0.05), Eu+W = +0.5 ± 1.6% ( P < 0.05)] than all other trials. Except for thirst and drinking, however, no Hy+W values differed from Eu+NW or Eu+W values. In conclusion, dehydration preceding low-intensity exercise in the heat magnifies thirst-driven drinking during exercise-heat stress. Such changes result in similar fluid regulatory hormonal responses and comparable modifications in plasma volume regardless of preexercise hydration state.

Abstract
This study tested the hypothesis that human pregnancy alters fluid and electrolyte regulation responses to acute short-term exercise. Responses of 22 healthy pregnant women (PG; gestational age, 37.0 +/- 0.2 wk) and 17 nonpregnant controls (CG) were compared at rest and during cycling at 70 and 110% of the ventilatory threshold (VT). At rest, ANG II concentration was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in PG vs. CG, whereas plasma osmolality and concentrations of AVP, sodium, and potassium were significantly lower. Atrial natriuretic peptide concentration at rest was similar between groups. ANG II and AVP concentrations increased significantly from rest to 110% VT in CG only, whereas increases in atrial natriuretic peptide concentration were similar between groups. Increases in osmolality, and total protein and albumin concentrations from rest to both work rates were similar between the two groups. PG and CG exhibited similar shifts in fluid during acute short-term exercise, but the increases in ANG II and AVP were absent and attenuated, respectively, during pregnancy. This was attributed to the significantly augmented fluid volume state already present at rest in late gestation.

Abstract
The present study examined the effect of short-term submaximal training on plasma acid-base balance during exercise. The influence of water and ion exchange between plasma, active muscles and erythrocytes in the response to training were also studied. The contributions of independent physicochemical variables (i.e. strong ion difference ([SID]), total concentration of weak acids ([Atot]) and PO2) to changes in arterial (a) and femoral venous (v) plasma [H+] were examined in six subjects (age 24+/-1.5 years; maximum oxygen consumption rate (VO2,max), 3.67+/-0.24 l min(-1)) during steady-state cycling for 15 min at each of 30, 65 and 75% of VO2,max before (pre) and after (post) training for 7 days on a cycle ergometer (2 h daily at 60 % VO2,max). The rise in [H+]a during exercise was attenuated post-training by 3 and 5 nequiv l(-1) (P<0.05) at 65 and 75% VO2,max, respectively, due first to less decrease in [SID]a, secondary to lower [Cl-]a and [Lac-]a; and second, to a reduction in [Atot]a, due to greater plasma volume and less plasma water flux (Jv) into leg muscle (P<0.05). The rise in [H+]v was also less in post-training by 4.5 and 6 nequiv l(-1) (P<0.05) at 65 and 75% VO2,max, respectively, and attributed solely to lower [Atot]v (P<0.05). Attenuation of exercise induced decreases in plasma [SID]a and [SID]v from rest to 75 % VO2,max was accompanied by reductions in erythrocyte Lac- and Cl- uptake (P<0.05), and smaller increases in erythrocyte K+ release (P<0.05). We conclude that the training-induced attenuation of the rise in plasma [H+]a and [H+]v during incremental exercise resulted from adaptive changes within muscles (less Lac- production and less water uptake) and erythrocytes (less uptake of Lac-, Cl- and K+), leading to greater [SID] and lower [Atot] in both arterial and femoral venous plasma.
