چکیده
Four cases of young cadets who developed severe heat stroke while on a cross country run in Doon Valley are reported. Physical exertion alone caused the episode in a homeothermic environment. One patient continued to have left facial nerve palsy.

Comparison of systemic cytokine responses after a long distance triathlon and a 100-km run: relationship to metabolic and inflammatory processes.
Suggested mechanisms for the systemic, circulating cytokinemia observed during heavy physical exertion include inflammation and energy demand. We compared cytokine levels and examined the underlying physiological mechanisms between a long-distance triathlon and a 100-km run, two endurance races of similar duration but characterized by differences in muscle strain. Blood samples were collected f...
متن کاملThe effects of a systematic increase in relative humidity on thermoregulatory and circulatory responses during prolonged running exercise in the heat
This study examined the thermoregulatory and circulatory responses, and exercise performance of trained distance runners during exercise in the heat (31°C) at varying relative humidity (RH). In a randomized order, 11 trained male distance runners performed 5 60 min steady-state runs at a speed eliciting 70% of VO2max in RH of 23, 43, 52, 61 and 71%. This was followed immediately with an increme...
متن کاملA study of cardio-pulmonary efficiency in different categories of runners.
Selected short distance runners, middle distance runners and long distance runners were subjected to graded exercise on a treadmill. The maximum aerobic power (VO2 max) and other indices related to oxygen transport system viz. heart rate, ventilation volume, breathing reserve, dyspnoeic index, O2 pulse and RQ were recorded at respective VO2 max work loads, and the values were compared. Long dis...
متن کاملComparison of the blood redox status between long-distance and short-distance runners.
Exercise increases the production of reactive oxygen species, which may damage a number of cell constituents. Organisms have developed a sophisticated antioxidant system for protection against reactive oxygen species. Our aim was to compare the adaptive responses of antioxidant mechanisms and the blood redox status of two groups of athletes, long-distance and short-distance runners. Thiobarbitu...
متن کاملAnthropometric and Physiological Determinants of Running Performance in Middle- and Long-distance Runners
The aim of the present study was to compare anthropometric, body composition and physiological parameters in middleand long-distance runners of the same performance level and to identify variables that could predict the probability of being either a middleor a long-distance runner. National-level middledistance (n=20, body mass M=70.5, SD=6.3 kg, body height M=1.80, SD=0.04 m,) and long-distanc...
