| Abstract |
Research carried out with the financial assistance of the Commission of the European Communities. 29 volunteer mine rescuers were subjected to 5 training sessions of equal length (105min) and intensity in 4 different climates: td 24° - tw 18°; td 37° - tw 32°; td 38° - tw 29°; td 40° - tw 31°C. At the latter 2 levels, weight loss was approx. 1500g and was still at 430g after 3h despite unrestricted liquid intake. Sodium loss was not compensated by intake of 120mEq. Slightly reduced endogenous creatinine clearance, increased renal acid elimination (during recuperation) and slightly stimulated adrenocortical activity were observed. Potassium loss was relatively small. The high-temperature effort required of volunteer rescuers results in thermal, circulatory and water and electrolyte balance effects which do not exceed physiological tolerance limits. |
