Participants
The experimental protocol was approved by the Saint Louis University Institutional Review Board, and informed consent was obtained from all participants. Participants could include males and females, aged 18-60 years. Participants met the qualifications for the study if they were considered at low risk for medical complications based on the American College of Sports Medicine’s Risk Classification (ACSM, 2010). Screening indicated participants’ current use of salt tablets for training. Participants were also required to be “trained, endurance athletes” based on current training status. Specifically,they must have been running greater than or equal to 30 miles (~48 km) each week, road-cycling greater than or equal to 150 miles (~241 km) each week, off-road cycling greater than or equal to 70 miles (~113 km) per week, or an equivalent combination of these or another form of endurance exercise (i.e. swimming). The participants must have been training for a minimum of 6 months prior to the study and must have been able to perform 2-hour bouts of endurance exercise at least once every 1-2 weeks to ensure that they could tolerate the test protocol.
