Exercise-Associated Muscle Cramps - 0 views

  • athletes who develop EAMC often ingest similar amounts of fluid during exercise as do their noncramping counterparts
  • Oral fluid ingestion may be ineffective, and intravenous fluid may provide a faster delivery for athletes suffering from acute EAMC
  • It is interesting that stretching the affected muscle almost immediately relieves EAMC
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Stretching, the primary treatment for acute EAMC
  • National Athletic Trainers’ Association recommends that athletes prone to muscle cramping add 0.3 to 0.7 g/L of salt to their drinks to stave off muscle cramps
  • Others have recommended adding higher amounts of sodium (about 3.0 to 6.0 g/L) to sports drinks based on the frequency of EAMC
  • intravenous infusion of fluids removes this delay, and it has been used to aid athletes who develop acute EAMC
  • maintaining hydration and adequate electrolyte levels is a good prevention strategy for individuals susceptible to EAMC
  • Fluid volumes of 1.8 L per hour have been well tolerated by tennis athletes who are susceptible to EAMC
  • Monitoring an athlete’s body weight is an easy method of ensuring adequate fluid replacement and individualizes each athlete’s fluid needs
  • the National Athletic Trainers’ Association and the American College of Sports Medicine recommend a volume of fluid that allows for less than a 2% body weight reduction
  • Endurance training may also serve as an effective means of preventing EAMC by expanding plasma volume and the extracellular fluid compartment15 and delaying neuromuscular fatigue
  •  
    Exercise associated muscle cramps or EAMC is not worked out.  The theories include dehydration, mineral/electrolyte deficiencies, and neuromuscular activity.

  •  
    Study finds that low free T and low Total T were associated with decline in desire, ED and activity versus none with Estradiol and SHBG in older men.  The difficult issue is the threshold of "low T".  The definition of "low T" is not uniform and varies with age.  Thus baseline evaluations and correlation with symptoms, metabolic dysfunction must be done.

    Small study found that Testosterone therapy in men reduced visceral adiposity, but not abdominal adiposity.  This is in contrast to other studies.  IR improved in men with low T levels.

  • Studies have shown that ED may be an early biomarker of general endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis and CVD
  • testosterone treatment of hypogonadal young and older men improves sexual function, increases lean mass and decreases fat mass
  • In men with low serum testosterone (for example, <8 or 230 nmol l−1) with obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus, treatment with testosterone is warranted
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • In obese middle-aged men, testosterone treatment reduced visceral adipocity, insulin resistance, serum cholesterol and glucose levels
  • testosterone replacement has a favorable impact on body mass, insulin secretion and sensitivity, lipid profile and blood pressure in hypogonadal men with the metabolic syndrome as well as type 2 diabetes mellitus
  • Testosterone significantly inhibits lipoprotein lipase activity, which reduces triglycerides uptake into adipocytes in the abdominal adipose tissue
  • testosterone treatment decreased endogenous inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α and IL-1β) and lipids (total cholesterol) and increased IL-10 in hypogonadal men
  • Testosterone treatment reduced leptin and adiponectin levels in hypogonadal type 2 diabetic men after 3 months of testosterone replacement
  • available data clearly show a relationship between obesity, low testosterone levels and ED
  • Obesity adversely affects endothelial function and lowers serum testosterone levels through the development of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome
  • Metabolic disturbances as well as production of cytokines and adipokines by inflamed fat cells may be causal factors in the development of ED
  • The onset of ED and the associated risk of CVD may be delayed through lifestyle modifications that affect obesity, such as diet and exercise
  • Very low testosterone levels contribute to the development of ED in obesity, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus
  • Obesity is associated with low total testosterone levels that can be explained at least partially by lower sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) in obese men
  • epidemiological studies have shown a negative correlation between BMI and total testosterone and to a lesser extent with free and bioavailable (biologically active) testosterone levels
  •  
    Obesity is associated with low Testosterone and ED in men.

    bipolar androgen therapy proposed as a mechanism to restore AR sensitivity in those men with castration resistant prostate cancer.  This was a very small pilot study.  The effects on PSA were limited in effect as all men eventually developed PSA increase

  • 2.1 standard deviations in total testosterone was associated with a 25% increase in mortality
  • Erectile dysfunction is an established marker for future cardiovascular risk and the major presenting symptom leading to a diagnosis of low testosterone
  • There is a considerable body of evidence that low testosterone is associated with increased cardiovascular and cancer mortality
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • There is considerable evidence of modest cardiac and metabolic benefits that are shown to reduce cardiovascular risk plus sexual, mood, and quality of life changes associated with restoring testosterone levels
  •  
    low Testosterone is associated with increased mortality in men and Testosterone therapy in men with low T is associated with a reduction in mortality in men.

    low testosterone associated with increased mortality.  This is an increased risk of all-cause mortality in men.  The mortality rate due to CVD was found to be inversely associated with Testosterone levels.

  •  
    Low Testosterone increased nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in men. The prevalence of NAFLD reached 85% with Total Testosterone was < 300 ng/dl.  Free Testosterone required a greater drop to increase the NAFLD, but it to still was found to be associated.

  •  
    The majority of ultra marathon runners deal with hypernatremia versus hyponatremia.  The majority were normonatremic.  Intravenous fluids can more rapidly resolve hypernatremia versus oral liquids and serves as useful means to reduce hypernatremia when oral liquids proves intolerable.

    over hydration increases risk of hyponatremia.  Body weight is inversely associated with Na levels.  Weight evaluations are an appropriate means to evaluate.  Endurance triathlon athletes can lose up to 5% without any negative physiologic impact.

Exercise-associated hyponatremia: role of cytokines. - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    study links rhabdomyolysis to exercise induced hyponatremia.  This article links the depletion of glycogen to muscle release of IL-6 leading to increase in ECW and thus hyponatremia. The abstract discusses fluid restriction vs hypertonic 3% NaCL to reverse the more severe cases.  The first signs are of weight gain and thus weight should be monitored.  Decreased renal output is also associated with EAH.  Altered mental status is an early sign.

Exercise-associated hyponatremia. - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    hyponatremia due to exercise, or exercise induced hyponatremia, is multifactorial: over-hydration, poor renal clearance, SIADH thus inhibition of renal fluid clearance, and excessive Na loss through sweat.

  •  
    event over hydration with under renal excretion can lead to hyponatremia.  SIADH and resultant increased ECW is involved.  Weight is an adequate means to evaluate--no weight loss and/or weight gain may suggest fluid overload and potential hyponatremia.
