Abstract

Background: Occult (i. e., non-visible) gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a well-recognized complication that can occur during vigorous endurance physical exertion, especially in the heat. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of GI bleeding during a non-impact (cycling) prolonged race (161-km) in the heat. Methods: Twenty-five experienced cyclists (21 males and 4 females, 49 9 y, 83. 7 14. 8 kg) were completed a summer 161-km cycling event. Following the race, participants were given a fecal Occult Blood test and were instructed to retrieve their first bowel movement. Results: Mean race dry air and wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) were 36. 0 5. 2° C, and 31. 8 3. 6° C, respectively. Of the 25 subjects, two (8%) produced positive results for fecal Occult Blood while an additional two (16%) experienced constipation, hard stools, diarrhea or vomiting. Conclusions: These data showed a low incidence of GI complaints and occult bleeding during a prolonged cycling event in the heat, indicating the low-impact exercise such as cycling may lessen some of the occult GI bleeding previously reported in distance running in the heat.
