Effects of exercise intensity and duration on sweat volume and plasma electrolytes concentration and urine in male athletes.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to Comparison of effects of exercise performance in different duration and intensity on sweat volume and plasma electrolytes concentration and urine in male athletes. For this purpose fifteen male athlete college students randomly selected to participate in the present study and performed subjects run on a treadmill at mean 65% of maximal oxygen uptake for 90 min and in the other trial, subjects run “as far as possible” at mean 80% vo2max for 30 min. blood and urine samples were obtained to assesses serum sodium and potassium concentrations and urine before and after practices. Significant body weight loss occurred, regardless of exercise time completed was in trial 65% vo2max. The sweat rate, regardless of exercise intensity was significantly greater in trial 80% vo2max. In both trial, Serum sodium and potassium concentration were maintained, despite significant body weight loss during of exercise
