Summary Five healthy young men exercised on an ergocycle for six 25-min periods separated by 5-min rest intervals in a warm dry environment (36°C). After 1 h of exercise without fluid intake, the subjects continued to be dehydrated or were rehydrated either with water (W) or with isosmotic electrolyte carbohydrate solutions, either acidic (AISO) or close to neutrality (NISO). The average amount of the fluid ingested progressively every 10 min (120 ml) at 20°C was calculated so as to compensate for 80% of the whole body water loss due to exercise in the heat. Dehydration associated with hyperosmotic hypovolaemia elicited large increases in heart rate (HR), and in rectal temperature (T re), while no decrease was found in either whole body or local sweat rates. Rehydration with water significantly reduced the observed disturbances, except for plasma osmolality and Na+ concentration which were significantly lower than normal. With both AISO and NISO there was no plasma volume reduction and osmolality increase. Although a plasma volume expansion was induced by NISO ingestion, the cardiac cost was not improved, as reflected by the absence of a decrease in HR. With NISO, sweating was not enhanced andT re tended to remain higher. It is concluded that efficient rehydration requires the avoidance of plasma volume expansion at the expense of interstitial and intracellular rehydration. During rehydration by oral ingestion of fluid, the pH of the drink may be an important factor; its effect remains unclear, however.
