Exercised-induced hematuria
1Medical College of Georgia, Augusta, Georgia, USA.
Abstract:
Bloody or discolored urine after exercise can have various etiologies. Exercise-induced hematuria is a common, benign cause of discolored urine following strenuous exercise. Evaluation of patients with this complaint begins with a thorough history, a focused physical examination and a microscopic examination of the urine. Using a systematic approach, the physician can detect serious, treatable problems, and testing can be limited. Patients with exercise-induced hematuria can be reassured that the condition is benign and that they can return to full activity.

Hormonal Regulation of Blood Pressure
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
The adrenal medulla releases epinephrine and norepinephrine, catecholamines that enhance and extend the sympathetic or "fight or flight" physiological response. These hormones escalate heart rate and the force of contraction while...
Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
