It is possible to increase haemoglobin (Hb) and haematocrit (Ht) to non-physiological values by injecting recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO). Although this treatment may result in a better performance of athletes, it may also cause a health risk. To prevent doping with rhEPO, the Union Cycliste Internationale has decided to exclude male cyclists ...

Thermoregulation in elite athletes
Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition & Metabolic Care, 2006Exercise causes body temperature to rise and the resulting heat stored becomes a factor limiting exercise performance in hot conditions. Loss of heat by evaporative processes leads to hypohydration which itself can eventually impair performance. This review focuses on thermoregulatory and behavioural processes during sustained exercise in the heat ...

Airway Hyperresponsiveness in Elite Athletes
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2000It has been suggested that high-level training could contribute to the development of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), but the comparative effects of different sports on airway function remains to be determined. We evaluated 150 nonsmoking volunteers 18 to 55 yr of age; 100 athletes divided into four subgroups of 25 subjects each according to the ...

Asthma in Tunisian Elite Athletes
International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2007Several studies in the past few decades have shown that very intense and repeated exercise, particularly when performed over many years, could cause respiratory health problems. The prevalence of exercise-induced asthma has increased in the athletic population, particularly in elite athletes and has not been published in North African athletes. The aim

Atrial fibrillation in elite athletes.
Journal of cardiovascular electrophysiology, 1998Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a rare event in people younger than 25 years of age, but is probably more frequent in competitive athletes. We analyzed the presence of AF, paroxysmal or chronic, in a population of young elite athletes, including previous Olympic and World champions, who were studied for arrhythmias that endangered their athletic careers ...
