Effects of Dietary Sodium on Muscle Water and Electrolytes during Heat Acclimatization.
Abstract/OtherAbstract :
In an effort to assess the influence of daily sodium intake on muscle water and electrolytes during eight, successive days of exercise and heat exposure (90min/day; 40.1 C; 23.5% R.H.; 44-50% Vo2 max), nine men were studied under two dietary sodium (Na+) regimens (399 and 98 mEq Na+/day). Both the 399 mEq Na+ (HI) and 98 mEq Na+ (LO) diets contained 80 mEq potassium (K+) per day. The LO treatment resulted in higher heart rates, higher rectal temperatures, and a smaller plasma volume expansion than during the HI regimen. Though plasma K+ concentration was unchanged throughout both treatments, the plasma K+, Na+ and C1- content increased in proportion to the increase in plasma volume. Muscle water, Na+, and C1- contents were significantly increased (P<.05) were found between the two Na+ diets. Muscle K+, on the other hand, remained unaffected by either the days of heat-exercise stress or the HI-LO diets. Although the LO diet appeared to lessen the subjects' acclimatization to the heat, neither diet affected the body K+ content, nor did they effect the excretion of K+ in urine or sweat.
