Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this project is determine how acute mild dehydration impacts blood pressure control at rest and during static exercise. This protocol will test healthy young and older adults in a normally hydrated and dehydrated condition.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this project is determine how acute mild dehydration impacts blood pressure control at rest and during static exercise. Additionally, we will determine whether or not the sympathetic nervous system has a role in mediating blood pressure control at rest and during static exercise. This protocol will test healthy young and older adults in a normally hydrated and dehydrated condition. This will allow for a within participant comparison. Additionally, we will later determine if age alters blood pressure control at rest or during static exercise.

Normal hydration then dehydration

Participants will consume water to maintain proper hydration for three days prior to testing (visit 1). Seven to 60 days later, participants will reduce water intake over three days and abstain from any water for the final 16 hours prior to testing (visit 2).
