Fatal case of hyponatremia

Exercise-associated hyponatremic encephalopathy and exertional heatstroke in a soldier: high rates of fluid intake during exercise caused rather than prevented a fatal outcome If athletes are physically burdening over a long time, the recommendation is considered that they should drink so much that the loss of body weight is fully balanced by dehydration.And especially with a load in the heat you should avoid a heat stroke with a lot of drink. A South African group describes the case report of a 20-year soldier who had a 50 km march at around 37 ° C. At the time of the start, the soldier was good dehydrated due to the laboratory values.During the march, he was able to supply all 5 km of liquid supplies which were offered at catering items.Liquid supply and body core temperature were regularly checked and its speed was monitored by GPS.Up to km 40 he drank almost 13 l, almost 4 l more than the other soldiers.During the time he was found 2.24 km before the aim.Despite all medical measures, he died the following day.

Hyponatremia at swimmers

Exercise-Associated Hyponatremic Encephalopathy in an Endurance Open Water Swimmer In general, it is known that its too high fluid supply during physical load leads to a dilution hyponatremia, in plain text, the sodium decreases in the blood. If you drink too much - because it is hot and / or because it is said to drink a lot to do not dehydrate - can have the serious consequences.An Australian research group has a fall of a long-distance swimmer at a 20 km swimming in the ocean. The too high fluid intake led to a stress-associated hyponatrominic encephalopathy with change in the state of consciousness.The sodium was 119 mmol / l at this time. She had to be monitored intensive care in the hospital, but then could go home healthy.

Sex difference in swimming with increasing age

Sex differences in elite swimming with advanced age are less than marathon running. An American group has studied whether the difference between men and women increasingly increasingly increases as at marathon.They examined the ranks 1-10 in the age groups 25-89 years. Men were faster than women in freestyle (12.4 ± 4.2%), back (12.8 ± 3.0%), and breast swimming (14.5 ± 3.2%), while the difference in the dolphin (16.7 ± 5.5%) was greatest. The difference in the swimming speed took as part of the top strands for freestyle, breast swimming and dolphin for all ages and routes.
