Athletic performance is initially enabled but then becomes limited by changes in body fluids.
This subject is reviewed in three parts: physiological responses, replacement strategies, and …

Administration of oral fluids prior to exercise may provide a fluid 'buffer'supporting
cardiorespiratory and thermoregulatory function during prolonged exercise. Six …

Body mass (BM), water intake (WI), and plasma osmolality (Posm) and electrolyte
concentrations were measured in six 2-year-old Arabian horses provided either 4 l, 8 l, or an …

-During exercise in the heat, sweat output often exceeds water intake which results in a body
water deficit (hypohydration) and electrolyte losses. Daily water losses can be substantial …

One of the most common consequences of prolonged exercise is fluid and electrolyte
depletion. Fluid and electrolyte losses during exercise may limit the horse's performance …

The purpose of this study was to compare directly the physiological consequences of 5%
hypohydration or euhydration during exercise in both temperate (23° C) and hot (33° C) …

Simple Summary Heat stress results in increased sweating and respiratory rate. Sweating,
especially, results in dehydration unless effective hydration strategies are employed …

Exercise causes profound alterations in cardiovascular function and fluid balance. Left
unchecked, these fluid and electrolyte losses can lead to cardiovascular and …

To avoid dehydration and a decrease in performance capacity in horses, fluid and
electrolyte losses need to be compensated for during long distance rides as well as on other …
