Exercise in the heat: Effect of fluid ingestion on blood-brain barrier permeability
Article Abstract:
Changes in serum S100[Beta] concentration, a peripheral marker of BBB permeability, in response to exercise in the heat with and without fluid ingestion, are examined. The results reveal that water ingestion can limit exercise-induced increases in serum S100[Beta], consistent with the preservation of blood brain barrier (BBB) integrity and it is possible that this response mediated through the maintenance of lower extracellular osmolality late in exercise, thus potentially, limiting the osmotically driven movement of fluid across the BBB.

Increased fat availability enhances the capacity of trained individuals to perform prolonged exercise
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to examine the relationship between carbohydrate and fat oxidation during exercise. Results show that in well-trained individuals carbohydrate taken days before exercise and free fatty acids, heparin taken just before exercise, the latter improves exercise endurance in cool environments.
