Info

If heat illness is not treated properly,serious complications can occur, suchas renal failure, arrhythmia, coma anddeath. Research has shown that in welltrained and acclimatised athletes, theheat dissipating mechanism becomesmore efficient and, therefore, adequateconditioning, together withacclimatisation and paying attention tohydration, form the key to prevention.Some athletes can cope better with heatthan others because of differences inheat generation and heat dissipation.Glycerol loading has been used toprevent dehydration but research hasshown conflicting results and significantside effects can affect any potentialbenefits [13].Hyponatraemia (waterintoxication)Hyponatraemia is now considered oneof the more serious problemsassociated with endurance exercise. Ithas been reported to occur in athletesafter long endurance events such asultra - marathons and the IronmanTriathlon [18]. Although it may beasymptomatic, hyponatraemia has beenassociated with signs and symptomssuch as altered mental status, seizuresand pulmonary oedema. The most likelycause of hypotranaemia is acombination of loss of salt through sweatand retention of high volumes ofhypotonic fluids that have been ingested.Sweat loss can be as great as 2.8l perhour.The water intoxicated athlete is wellhydrated and has a normal temperature(in contrast to the athlete with heatillness). Often the symptoms do no occuruntil a few hours after the athlete hasfinished the event. The delayed onset ofsymptoms may be due, in part, tocontinued hypotonic fluid ingestionfollowing the race and increasedabsorption of hypotonic fluids from thegastrointestinal tract after the athlete hasstopped running.Treatment of hyponatraemia is primarilysupportive and includes infusion ofnormal saline. The risk can be reducedby planning a replacement scheme thatincludes a combination of water andglucose electrolyte solutions.References1.
