This article is a recap of the 2015 CrossFit Conference on Exercise-Associated Hyponatremia. I thought this point was interesting: "Drinking glass after glass of water while sedentary generally doesn’t have negative health implications. It mostly leads to more trips to the bathroom. The problem begins when someone drinks excessively while exercising," typically slow to moderate endurance exercise. |

Re: Exercise Associated Hyponatremic Encephalopathy, Gatorade and the ACSM
Thanks for sharing that link, Christopher.
You can watch the full video of the 2015 CrossFit Conference on Exercise-Associated Hyponatremia here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GizAYJfuH4 (w/f safe) The scientists who presented are also working on a joint statement that they'll publish in scientific journals. One of the highlights was Dr. Kevin Miller's presentation on cramps, starting at 4:06:43: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GizAYJfuH4&t=14803 Dr. Miller critically analyzed the work of Gatorade advertiser (and lead CHAMP author!) Dr. Michael Bergeron on cramping. The Gatorade advertiser, Bergeron, propounds the theory that electrolyte loss causes cramps. His theory is based off of an unproven assumption. According to Dr. Miller, "technically, no one has ever shown that crampers lose more sodium in their sweat than non-crampers." This relates to hyponatremia indirectly. Athletes believe that drinking commercial sports drinks like Gatorade will prevent cramps. To compound the problem, athletes are largely unaware of the risks of hyponatremia. For example, Zyrees Oliver suffered intense cramping during summer football training last year. Doctors and coaches advised him to hydrate frequently to treat his symptoms. Zyrees complied, drank gallons of Gatorade, and died from exercise-associated hyponatremic encephalopathy (EAHE). Zyrees died a thoroughly preventable death. |

I'm not sure any sane person would recommend consuming 4 gallons of liquids. I don't even know how you drink 4 gallons of anything.

Re: Exercise Associated Hyponatremic Encephalopathy, Gatorade and the ACSM
Gatorade has finally relented and begun advising athletes to drink "ad libitum," or "to thirst."
And ACSM's incoming president Larry Armstrong admitted that Gatorade funding "does affect objectivity." |

Re: Exercise Associated Hyponatremic Encephalopathy, Gatorade and the ACSM
Russ,
Your link isn't working for me, but I figure it's from your blog: http://therussells.crossfit.com/2015...n-confessions/ (wfs) You call on Larry Armstrong to "use his authority at ACSM to remove Gatorade’s corrosive impact. He must not just end Gatorade’s partnership with ACSM, but also ban all ACSM fellows from accepting Gatorade dollars." A hopeful idea, as you quote him saying that Gatorade funding affects the objectivity of hydration research. Not so hopeful when I read this, as he seems unwilling to stand up to his funded peers: Quote:
