The influence of exercise volume and posture on exercise-induced plasma volume expansion.

Acute high-intensity interval exercise is known to expand plasma volume 24 h after exercise. Upright exercise posture plays a role in expanding plasma volume by influencing lymphatic outflow and redistributing albumin while supine exercise does not. We examined if further upright and weight-bearing exercises could further promote plasma volume expansion.

Nonselective NOS inhibition blunts the sweat response to exercise in a warm environment.

The role of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition in modulating human thermoregulatory control of sweating and cutaneous dilation was examined in 10 subjects (5 men and 5 women). Three intradermal microdialysis probes were placed in nonglabrous skin of the dorsum of the forearm. The control site was perfused with 0.
