AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined how dehydration and subsequent rehydration affect performance, immune responses, and body temperature in high-intensity rowing.
- Seven female rowers completed two 2000-meter races under euhydrated and dehydration/rehydration conditions, revealing changes in body mass and tympanic temperature.
- Findings showed that while dehydration/rehydration didn't harm rowing performance, it led to higher body temperature and altered immune cell responses, affecting leukocyte and neutrophil levels post-exercise compared to the euhydrated state.
Article Abstract
Purpose: This study determined the effect of dehydration and rehydration (DR) on performance, immune cell response, and tympanic temperature after high-intensity rowing exercise.
Methods: Seven oarswomen completed two simulated 2000-m rowing race trials separated by 72 h in a random, cross-over design. One trial was completed in a euhydrated (E) condition and the other using a DR protocol.
Results: The DR condition resulted in a 3.33+/-0.14% reduction in body mass (P<.05) over a 24-h period followed by a 2-h rehydration period immediately before the simulated rowing race. There was a greater change in tympanic temperature observed in the DR trial (P<.05). There were increases in the blood concentration of leukocytes, lymphocytes, lymphocyte subsets (CD3+, CD3+/4+, CD3+/8+, CD3-/16+, CD4+/25+; P<.05) and decreases in lymphocyte proliferation and neutrophil oxidative burst activity immediately following the simulated race (P<.05) in both trials. Blood leukocyte and neutrophil concentrations were greater after exercise in the DR trial (P<.05). Whereas most immune measures returned to resting values after 60 min of recovery in both trials, lymphocyte proliferation and the concentrations of CD3+/4+ and CD4+/25+ cells were significantly lower than before exercise. Blood leukocyte and neutrophil concentrations were significantly higher before and after exercise in the E trial.
Conclusion: The effects of dehydration/rehydration did not negatively influence simulated 2000-m rowing race performance in lightweight oarswomen but did produce a higher tympanic temperature and had a differential effect on blood leukocyte, neutrophil, and natural killer (CD3-/16+) cell concentrations after exercise compared with the euhydrated state.

Purpose: High-intensity functional interval training (HIFT) is predominantly composed of high exercise training intensities (HiT) and loads. Both have been linked to a higher risk of overtraining and injuries in inexperienced populations. A polarized training approach is characterized by high amounts of low-intensity training (LiT) and only approximately 5%-20% HiT.

Volleyball is a high-intensity sport characterized by repetitive jumping, sudden directional changes, and overhead movements, all of which significantly increase the risk of injuries, particularly to the shoulders, knees, and ankles. Despite the frequency of injuries caused by actions like blocking and spiking, there has been limited research focused on the specific biomechanical risk factors unique to volleyball. This study aimed to investigate the lower limb biomechanics during block jumps in both the dominant and non-dominant directions, under both anticipated and unanticipated conditions, in fifteen elite male volleyball players.

Background: Overweight and obesity among children is a serious public health challenge worldwide which may lead to a range of negative physical, mental, and social consequences in childhood and later in life. There is a strong need for developing new innovative, integrated approaches and programs which can prevent overweight in children effectively and can be embedded into everyday practices. The Generation Healthy Kids intervention is a multi-component, multi-setting intervention aiming to promote healthy weight and well-being in children aged 6-11 years in Denmark.

This study aimed to examine the relationship between the maximal lactate accumulation rate (ċLa) and sprint performance parameters in male competitive swimmers. Seventeen male competitive swimmers volunteered to perform a 20 m maximal front crawl sprint without pushing off the wall from a floating position. ċLa was determined by the 20-m sprint time and blood lactate measured before and after the 20 m sprint.
