The primary goal is to examine the influence of weather condition on thermal load of an endurance run. Secondary we want to investigate the influence of fluid- and nutritional intake and clothing on thermal load of an endurance run.

Background summary
Last year in the marathon of Rotterdam and the dam-tot-dam-loop respectively 20
an 33 participant ended in the hospital, mainly because of hyperthermia. The
marathon of Rotterdam was therefore cancelled before the end of the race. After
literature research it is found that till now there is little known on the
effect of external factors (like temperature, clothing and fluidintake) on the
thermoregulation in endurance running. This information is crucial in
prevention of overheating in indurance runs.
Study objective
The primary goal is to examine the influence of weather condition on thermal
load of an endurance run. Secondary we want to investigate the influence of
fluid- and nutritional intake and clothing on thermal load of an endurance run.
Study design
observational study
Study burden and risks
The research wil take place during the 7heuvelenloop. Before the run the body
core temperature and body weight will be measured. The participant also hands
in a nutritional diary. After the run body core temperature and body weight are
measured again. Is is also asked what the participant drank or eat during the
game. The measurements are done by the start/finisch. This and the measurement
of heart frequency are no big load, discomfort or risk for the participant. It
will only take them a bit of there time.
