Abdominal symptoms during physical exercise and the role of gastrointestinal ischaemia: a study in 12 symptomatic athletes

Abstract: GI ischaemia was present in all athletes during maximum intensity exercise and in 50% during submaximal exercise. Athletes with GI symptoms had higher gastric gradients per mmol/l increase in lactate, suggesting an increased susceptibility for the development of ischaemia during exercise. Treatment advice aimed at limiting GI ischaemia helped the majority of the referred athletes to reduce their complaints. Our results suggest an important role for GI ischaemia in the pathophysiology of their complaints.

“…This is thought to result from prolonged intestinal hypoperfusion, ischemia, and loss of barrier integrity. The risk of this occurring is greater in the under-trained athlete who may experience high levels of splanchnic vascular hyper-responsiveness secondary to prolonged blood flow redistribution [15,16]. Dehydration is a risk factor and women appear to be more frequently affected [17].…”

“…Overall, there is negligible evidence to indicate that exercise is risky for human patients with IBD (Loudon and others 1999, Nathan and others 2013). Nevertheless, high-intensity training in patients with this condition remains controversial because it may induce acute, but transient, exacerbation of inflammation and IBD symptoms (ter Steege and others 2012). In this study, the structured prescription exercise programme consisted of low-intensity to moderate-intensity interval training.…”

“…Por ejemplo, 12531 personas se inscribieron a la maratón de Barcelona en el año 2011 en comparación con 16216 en el año 2012, lo que corresponde a un 29% de aumento en esta distancia recorrida 1 . Entre los motivos de consulta frecuentes de los atletas de resistencia y ultrarresistencia están las molestias gastrointestinales (GI) como náuseas, vómitos, dispepsia, cólico abdominal, urgencia de defecación, diarrea, heces con sangre e incluso colapso 2,3 . La relación entre los síntomas GI y la isquemia GI producida durante el ejercicio físico se encuentra aún bajo evaluación 3,4 .…”

La relación entre los síntomas GI y la isquemia GI producida durante el ejercicio físico se encuentra aún bajo evaluación 3,4 . Estos síntomas GI inducidos por el ejercicio son atribuidos frecuentemente a desórdenes de la motilidad gastrointestinal, factores mecánicos y aumento en la secreción de hormonas como la adrenalina.…”
