    Effect of glycerol-induced hyperhydration on thermoregulation and metabolism during exercise in heat

    Anderson MJ, Cotter JD, Garnham AP, Casley DJ, Febbraio MA

    Published in International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism

    Key Findings

    Glycerol hyperhydration lowered pre-exercise urine output, reduced heart rate throughout steady-state cycling in dry heat and increased forearm blood flow versus water.

    Conclusions

    Glycerol loading improves cardiovascular and thermoregulatory strain during exercise in the heat.

    Limitations

    Only six endurance-trained men, single laboratory heat condition.

    Outcomes Measured

    Heat Tolerance

    This study examined the effect of glycerol ingestion on fluid homeostasis, thermoregulation, and metabolism during rest and exercise.
