Dehydration Has No Influence on Simulated Motor-race Performance Despite Greater Cardiovascular and Thermoregulatory Demand

PURPOSE: Motor-racing drivers compete in hot compensable environments imposing high physiological strain. Dehydration may impact a driver's health, safety and race performance. This study examined the effect of heat-induced dehydration on performance and physiological outcomes during a simulated motor-race. METHODS: Fifteen healthy men [age: 25.2±5.4 y, body mass: 84.8±10.7 kg, V̇O2peak: 43.7±7.8 mL.kg-1.min-1 (mean±SD)] participated in this...
