Abstract des Autors

The authors evaluated whether ultraendurance swimmers suffer a change of body mass, fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, total body water, and specific gravity of urine during a 12-hr swim in 12 male Caucasian ultraswimmers. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance of urine samples before and after the race was performed to detect alanine, lactate, and 3-hydroxybutyrate. The 12 swimmers achieved an average distance of 29.4 km (SD=5.1). No statistically significant changes in body mass, fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, and total body water could be determined (p>.05), but urine gravity decreased significantly (p<.001). Two participants showed increased signals of ketone bodies after the race. In these samples, the hydroxybutyrate-creatinine ratio increased more than tenfold. Verf.-Referat (geändert)
