Why the study?
Does maintaining plasma volume via albumin and saline infusion improve circulatory and thermoregulatory responses during moderate exercise?
Population
6 subjects cycling at approximately 65% of their maximum O2 uptake in a warm environment
Comparison
Infusion of 5% albumin suspended in 0.45%, 0.9%… vs Control exercise for 30 min with no infusion
Follow-up
30 minutes

May support plasma volume maintenance to stabilize HR and temperature in exercise; leaves open translation to clinical settings or practice change.
Does maintaining plasma volume via albumin and saline infusion improve circulatory and thermoregulatory responses during moderate exercise?
Maintaining plasma volume during moderate cycle exercise prevents the compromise of circulatory and thermal regulations, whereas changes in osmolality have little effect.
Fortney et al. (1988) studied this question.
