Key result
Hypovolemia during exercise in the heat significantly increased forearm vascular resistance at the onset of exercise compared to normovolemia (27.1 vs 13.2 units) to preserve blood pressure.

Highlights potential BP preservation via increased vascular resistance in hypovolemic heat exercise; leaves open clinical implications for athletes.
Does hypovolemia affect forearm vascular resistance control during dynamic exercise in the heat in physically active men?
Absolute Event Rate: 27.1% vs 13.2%
Hypovolemia during exercise in the heat causes an increase in forearm vascular resistance, thereby preserving arterial blood pressure and adequate perfusion to essential organs.
Nishiyasu et al. (1991) studied Exercise in the heat (n=5). Hypovolemia (diuretic administration) vs. Normovolemia (control) was evaluated on Increase in forearm vascular resistance (FVR) at the onset of dynamic exercise. Hypovolemia during exercise in the heat significantly increased forearm vascular resistance at the onset of exercise compared to normovolemia (27.1 vs 13.2 units) to preserve blood pressure.
