Dr Glenn McConell chats with Professor José González-Alonso from Brunel Univesity London. We discussed exercise in the heat, dehydration, fluid ingestion, blood flow, metabolism and human circulation. He has a very strong research track record having researched these areas for around 35 years. We discuss how he began his career doing research with some very big names.

31:16. Fluid ingestion, adrenaline and muscle glycogen use
33:50. Blood particles (osmolality), dehydration and exercise
36:48. Blood volume, cardiac output and VO2 max
41:50. Exercise in hot and humid conditions
44:44. Central (brain) causes of fatigue during exercise?
52:55. Generalizing results from non elite participants
54:00. Drinking during running vs cycling
56:57. Starting race euhydrated vs hypohydrated
58:10. Only drink a lot if sweating a lot /osmolality and urine
1:00:13. Sweat sodium concentration during exercise
1:02:45. What is still unknown in the area?

Inside Exercise brings to you the who's who of research in exercise metabolism, exercise physiology and exercise’s effects on health. With scientific rigor, these researchers discuss popular exercise topics while providing practical strategies for all.

The interviewer, Emeritus Professor Glenn McConell, has an international research profile following 30 years of Exercise Metabolism research experience while at The University of Melbourne, Ball State University, Monash University, the University of Copenhagen and Victoria University.

He has published over 120 peer reviewed journal articles and recently edited an Exercise Metabolism eBook written by world experts on 17 different topics (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-94305-9).
