Abstract: | The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a daily intake of fluid and salt supplementation (FSS) on the deficiency
of electrolytes, which is characterized by higher rather than lower plasma concentration of electrolytes during prolonged
hypokinesia (HK) (decreased number of km taken per day). Forty long distance runners aged 22–25 yr with a peak V02 65.4 mL min-1 kg-1 with an average 14.2 km d running distance were selected as subjects. They were equally divided into four groups: 1) unsupplemented
control subjects (UCS); 2) unsupplemented hypokinetic subjects (UHS); 3) supplemented hypokinetic subjects (SHS), and 4) supplemented
control subjects (SCS). During the investigation of 364 d, groups 2 and 3 maintained an average running distance of less than
4.7 km per day, groups 1 and 4 did not experience any modification in their normal training routines and diets. During the
preexperimental period of 60 d and during the experimental period of 364 d urinary excretion of electrolytes and concentrations
of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in plasma were determined. Whole blood hemoglobin, hematocrit index, plasma osmolality,
and plasma protein concentration were measured. In the UHS plasma concentration of electrolytes and urinary excretion thereof,
fluid elimination, hematocrit, whole blood hemoglobin, plasma osmolality, and plasma protein concentration increased significantly
(p < 0.05) when compared with the UCS, SCS, and SHS groups. In the SHS plasma concentration of electrolytes and urinary excretion
thereof, fluid excretion, whole blood hemoglobin, hematocrit, plasma osmolality, and plasma protein concentration decreased
when compared with the UHS and increased insignificantly when compared with the UCS and SCS groups. It was concluded that
FSS may be used to prevent or minimize electrolyte deficiency in endurance-trained volunteers during prolonged restriction
of muscular activity. |
