“…The high prevalence of isotonic drink consumption is justified by its significance in effective hydration of the body, and also maintaining water as well as electrolyte balance in conditions of physical effort, while accelerating post-workout glycogen resynthesis [ 34 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ]. Gel (65–70% carbohydrates) and carbohydrate bars used by the studied athletes were justified in the context of their significance for the rapid replenishment and levelling of energy reserves and losses.…”

Introduction: The purpose of this research was to analyse relationships between personality traits and the use of selected dietary supplements among Polish athletes training in team sports. This subject matter has not been explored in prior research. Material and Methods: This research was carried out among a group of 213 athletes (men) in the 18–36 age range, with the implementation of a proprietary validated questionnaire for the use of dietary supplements and the NEO-PI-R inventory (Neuroticism–Extraversion–Openness Personality Inventory—Revised). Statistical analyses were performed with the Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney tests, assuming the following level of significance: α = 0.05. Results: It was shown that athletes who periodically and regularly consumed isotonic drinks, as well as energy bars and gels, were characterised by a lower level of neuroticism than those who did not consume them. Athletes who periodically took multivitamin preparations were characterised by a lower level of extraversion and openness, and those periodically using multimineral preparations were characterised by a higher level of agreeableness than those who did not use these agents. Athletes not taking creatine were characterised by the lowest level of conscientiousness among the study participants. The use of protein nutrients, probiotics and caffeine was not associated with any personality traits in the athletes. Conclusions: Further relationships of the Big Five personality traits were demonstrated with the use of effective dietary supplements by athletes; the most unambiguous correlations were described for neuroticism and conscientiousness in such a way that the use of isotonic drinks, as well as energy bars and gels, was connected with a low level of neuroticism, while the use of creatine was connected with high conscientiousness.

“…Since urine density is considered an indicator of hydration status [ 42 ], participants with higher aerobic capacity had better hydration. Batista et al demonstrated that hydration was influential in the aerobic capacity of athletes [ 52 ]. It should be noted that urine-specific gravity is widely accepted as a convenient and reliable indicator of hydration status.…”

Workers’ heat tolerance plays a crucial role in maintaining their health and performance in hot environments. This study aimed to empirically analyze the body heat tolerance of workers under a simulated warm environment. Twenty healthy male workers from the typical light metal industry (age: 23.15±2.45 years) were participated in the experimental study. Workers were exposed to two thermal environments (Ta = 22°C, RH = 35%, and Ta = 35°C, RH = 35%) in a simulated moderate workload in a climate-controlled room. The maximal aerobic capacity (VO2 max) and body fat mass of workers were determined. The heat tolerance indicators were determined based on heart rate (HR) and ear temperature (ET) before and after each experiment. A linear mixed model was employed to analyze body heat tolerance indicators using the SPSS statistical package. All physiological responses significantly increased in the warm air condition compared to the thermoneutral condition. The HR and ET increased by an average of 14 bpm and 0.75°C, respectively (p<0.05). The mixed model could accurately predict heat tolerance indicators (r = 0.95 and r = 0.97) so that the VO2 max and body fat mass were identified as the main individual influential factors. The VO2 max showed significant correlation with urinary specific gravity (r = -0.55, p<0.05), HR (r = -0.59, p<0.05), and ET (r = -0.57, p<0.05) in warm environment. The model confirmed that physical fitness is critical in increasing heat tolerance in warm environments. It can be a helpful screening tool for properly selecting workers in occupational medical examinations for working in warm air conditions. It is proposed that workers’ regular exercise and lifestyle modifications can strengthen their heat tolerance.

“…Exercise-induced sweating can cause losses of 2%–6% of body mass, which characterizes a condition of dehydration, a phenomenon regarded to decrease physical performance ( Pereira et al, 2017 ) and important health complications ( Liska et al, 2019 ). Hypohydration before and during exercise potentiates these harmful effects, causing damage to athletes' performance ( Batista and dos Santos, 2020 ). Therefore, adequate water intake before and during sports practice should be encouraged, as it helps in the delay of muscular fatigue, generates less effort perception, reduces the sensation of thirst, and decreases cardiovascular and thermal stress ( Cheuvront and Kenefick, 2014 ).…”
