Conclusions
1.  Dehydration induces significant cardiovascular strain during
intense whole body exercise in hot environments.!
2.  This is characterised by reductions in cardiac output and blood
flow to active muscles, skin and brain. !
3.  Reductions in SV are associated with tachycardia and reductions
in blood volume.!
4.  During low intensity exercise and resting conditions dehydration
does still reduce SV due to reductions in left ventricular filling. !
5.  Locomotor blood flow and cardiac function are closely coupled.!
6.  The effects of dehydration on cardiovascular function are
dependent on amount of muscle mass recruited. !
