Acute exercise-heat-induced dehydration without fluid replacement increases sweat sodium and chloride concentrations in men, likely due to elevated extracellular fluid sodium, plasma aldosterone, and sympathetic nervous activity.
If you exercise for more than an hour in hot conditions, your sweat becomes saltier if you don't drink. This means you lose more sodium than you would if you stayed hydrated. To maintain performance and health, consider replacing fluids with electrolytes, especially sodium, rather than just plain water, to match the increased loss.
Acute exercise-heat stress without fluid replacement resulted in a greater sweat [Na+] and [Cl-] which was potentially related to greater extracellular fluid [Na+], plasma aldosterone or sympathetic nervous activity.
Why this rating
Randomized controlled trial with clear intervention and measurement, though small sample size (n=8).
