Exercise-induced nausea
Exercise-induced nausea
Exercise-induced nausea (pronounced: ex-er-cise in-duced naw-zee-uh) is a condition that can occur after intense physical activity. It is a common symptom experienced by athletes and those who engage in high-intensity workouts.
Etymology
The term "exercise-induced nausea" is derived from the English words "exercise" (from the Latin exercitus, past participle of exercere meaning to keep busy or to work), "induced" (from the Latin inducere meaning to lead in), and "nausea" (from the Greek nausia meaning seasickness).
Definition
Exercise-induced nausea is a sensation of feeling sick or vomiting that can occur during or after intense physical activity. This condition is often associated with high-intensity or prolonged exercise, such as marathon running or high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
Causes
The exact cause of exercise-induced nausea is not fully understood, but it is believed to be due to a combination of factors including dehydration, lactic acid build-up, and reduced blood flow to the stomach during intense exercise.
Prevention and Treatment
Prevention strategies for exercise-induced nausea include proper hydration, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding high-intensity exercise immediately after eating. Treatment typically involves rest, rehydration, and in some cases, medication to reduce nausea.
