Does head-out water immersion alter fluid-regulating hormones during exercise in healthy men?
Head-out water immersion during exercise alters fluid-regulating hormones, likely due to increased central blood volume stimulating low-pressure baroreceptors and atrial stretch.
Sheldahl et al. (1992) studied this question.
