Excessive water intake during endurance sports can lead to exercise-associated hyponatremia, a dangerous condition. This review examines its causes, risks, and treatments for athletes.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) is increasingly recognized in endurance athletes.
  • Rising popularity of endurance events correlates with increased EAH incidence and fatalities.
  • EAH pathogenesis involves excessive water intake and potential hormonal/renal dysregulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology of EAH.
  • To elucidate the pathogenesis of EAH.
  • To discuss therapeutic strategies for EAH.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of exercise-associated hyponatremia.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data.
  • Synthesis of current understanding of pathogenesis and treatment.

Main Results:

  • EAH incidence is rising with endurance event popularity.
  • Excessive water consumption is a primary driver of EAH.
  • Abnormal arginine vasopressin secretion and renal water handling may contribute to severe cases.

Conclusions:

  • EAH is a significant risk in endurance sports.
  • Understanding excessive fluid intake is crucial for prevention.
  • Further research into hormonal and renal factors is warranted for effective therapy.
