Sports Science: Effects of dehydration on athletes?

[Nickname21]

Todd's a pure animal!

[DJeclipse93]

lets have someone draw a picture, after that they can draw the same picture but they are dehydrated and blindfolded and see if that brings us closer to finding a cure for freshwater planktonitus

[ExtremeVoltages]

very very nice 2 thumbs up

[ExtremeVoltages]

keep upload ve3ry nice quality

[kriz10and]

Second**

[kriz10and]

How about letting him try the track 2 times hydrated? You allways improve on your secound run cause you know the track afterwards.

[S34NM0N1]

i was expecting his skin to come off with the suit a little myself...

[murumo24]

@DaDragon47 - Sauna is not good.. the moral lesson of this segment is condition your body very well..

[joegun525]

So what did we learn from this? Dehydration causes you to lose weight, look more ripped and muscles are more defined and increases you ability to perform.  let's all go and get dehydrated now!!!!

[0913subarurally]

I feel like dehydrating myself now.

[Exata1337]

in my own opinion, dehydration doesnt hinder your performance, but it hinders your conditioning.

[jaykeuhb]

he wasnt actually supposed to beat the time haha

[DaDragon47]

uhh i dont get it, why dont they just get himi to cut weight in a sauna instead of a fuckin treadmill, that puts fatigue into a factor

[Endero]

@DaDragon47 ur right dude

[zzwhiteboitt]

get a kiwi man those guys are even tougher

[cbinsyd]

when they said they were going to get an international rugby star I was hoping they were going to have someone that is actually.........good.

[taweraster]

@cbinsyd He's one of the best in his position in the World, he leads the 14th ranked team in the World and is constantly outplaying his opposite number, he's had man of the match performances against multiple tier 1 nations and leads his team from the front like all good captains do.

He's the greatest player the United States has ever seen.

[Cuska87]

did they mention if his pass hit the bulls eye?

[koolmercy123]

what are  they trying to do kill him geez sports science :(

[SergVern]

they should have brought henry tuilagi cause he hits they harder than clever

[Blackbeltnumber1]

I think that that experiment was crazy. He is very conditioned, so he was fine. Anyone else would have died 4 sure

[soloisrollin777]

rugbe clay mathews?

[CanadianShaffle]

I had to drink so much water after watching this vid :P

[IDaveyyyy]

"that's hot" well duh it's on fire.

[drewrbutcher]

Moral of the story...become deydrated before you do anything = Success

[VotePalpatine]

i play outdoor roller hockey in the summer, when its regularly around 90 degrees and often over 100 if you take into account the heat index. I usually take like 3-4 huge bottles of water to hydrate myself with, its crazy how much having just a few sips of water can re-energize you.

[FLASH2394]

get a wrestler in there whos used to cutting weight

[BodybuildinginTX]

As a former wrestler and Texas football player, I know how this guy feels. Utter misery!! What I am really suprised they didn't mention is how much easier it is to again get heat stroke once you have already had it. Cool stuff though. No idea how that worked until I watched this. One of the best ones I have seen them do.

[Trolololol22]

@iCARNACKi you do know that it is popular basically everywhere else other than North America right?

[carlose0318]

this man is the definition of a BEAST

[GeoPlazaTV]

i wouldve said 'suck my dick' you do that shit lol

[Bcorral503]

I know exactly what this guy went through lol

[IIReJeCtSII]

that 1 hr run must be his warm up!

[deanomiko]

At like 1:37 or around there. He looks like and extremely jacked version of Bryce harper

[bloodfly3]

Rugby for life.

[gusbus2013]

I loose nearly that much water weight after 40 minutes of running at night. excessive sweating is hell

[MrJD0623]

he chugged the water in 3 seconds this guys a fuckn beaast

[Colby1095]

some athletes even die from dehydration, "ok so now were going to dehydrate you as much as we can"

[aCaptainJackSparrow]

dude i lost 13 pounds the day before wrestling tournment this is some weak shit

[mazeI25]

so our body uses adrenaline if were in that state of dehydration normal people that had no training will normally die in the 60mins jog plus the kidney factor is awesome only few people survive in that intense level :D

[Aznmstr00]

That was impressive

[FreelySoaring]

well this is certainly exceptional publicity.. o.O

[bbabins45]

Clay matthews?

[laxprep39]

it is very possible he didnt run the obstacle his hardest the first time

[Brocode3000]

this is insane

[Egonzal316]

Lmao Joey Porter will crush that rugby dude

[superheaton]

Most athletes run 10km as a warmup

[MrJayLH]

this is cruel

[frostylala141]

i run usally 4-7 miles because 9 miles is just too much for me ;( my legs get woblly and i get side stiches too ;(

[leirj]

@manny24lal shut up you little chicken fucker. the lakers suck cock

[porkpine123]

This test is really stupid. You can tell that he was more familiar with the course the second time, and you can't just go by what two tests say. You have to do at least 3-5 tests for each one to get a good statistical benchmark for each test.

[socc3rchamp]

this makes sport science look bad lol

[shiggins316]

Todd clever is a good rugby player meat heads. He is playing super rugby now

[shiggins316]

Clever is a good rugby player meat heads he is playing super rugby for the lions and is easily there best player. I am Australian so I'm not favoring him

[acerugbynumber5]

wow so this video makes the rugby vs football video wron gbecause u take a professional from a rugby team thats not even good and he hits as hard as nfl player actually harder.

[UHtiger]

He did the course once then ran for a whole hour then did it again. You'd need to do it repeatedly to get used to it not once more while your completely fatigued. Give the guy some credit you muppets.

[nohemataelchingon]

Wow i feel bad and amazed by this guy

[leirj]

this is so dumb.. of course hes going to do better the second time because hes gotten use to the course already... its called the order effect

[manny24lal]

@leirj dumbass he ran for a fucking hour in scorching heat!

[xXFlySneaksXx]

like if you got thirsty at the end of the vid

[otislemon]

Wasnt he more familiar with the course the second time also?

[TheHXCLee]

Lol its funny how he said it feels like i'm roasting.... like a chicken.

[ash0ppingcart]

Wtf are they doing to this guy!

[laorjlse]

OMFG!!!!!!.........I could do that.

[cfl990]

@laorjlse shut the hell up

[laorjlse]

@cfl990 OMFG!!!!!! Troll..shut your fucking mouth

[iTeloscope]

Who the hell is Todd Clever?

[decin1]

they need to pick non american athletes specaily in the world of rugby like come on

[0n3andOnly]

they pick a rugby player. for a start hes an american rugby player no offense they suck at rugby. secondly rugby is actually only a 30minute sport. the other 50 mins is kicking back and for and scrums lineouts ect...

[DieWrek]

it seems like they just setin his ass up for failure

[lambeauleap52]

looks like clay mathews hittin that dummy

[biggiec64]

this guy is the man, but he also knows the course the second time through so that could also help him get a faster time. either way hes a boss

[USFsh0ji]

you need a average run not 1 shot

[mclaxin9]

this guy is a fucking bossssssss

[Philliefan09]

why werent his shirt and pants sweaty?

[TheMMATron]

This guy is a freakin Ultra-Marine.

[jesuistahmid]

"international rugby star" HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA

[Acid346]

I dont like rugby but this a soldier

[MrImpedio]

I wonder what his insurance contract looked like.

[soldierside365]

@MrImpedio

that was it burning by the light lol

[dan2hamilton]

i love this guy i just wish he wouldn't left the super 14 for club rugby in japan!

[grnbbllntrck]

hahaa are they trying to kill him?!

[20george20]

I would die from the heat alone..

[k94845]

this show is very unscientific. they don't even duplicate the experiment

[chuyuy10]

that is so wrong, yet funny how the guy with the deep voice is saying that he can die and his kindeys can fail, and ge can have brain damage. but they still dnt stop him 4rm running they just keep him the treadmil

[MrIansmiler]

it doesn't really add anything to science, is 2 seconds significant with 1 participant, no control etc etc etc, dehydration is well known to effect performance negatively Armstong at al 1985 dougherty et al 2006

[mattday1986]

Clever is a great athlete and what's scary is he's not even in the top 30 of rugby athletes, in speed, power and stamina, I'd love to see Pierre spies do this and see what he does to that tackle dummy!

[pdbennett69]

Cheap speculation regarding adrenaline causing the faster time. He's lighter by 7%... this is an awful video for sports science.

also, he hits the dummy way too high.

[Superplatanoman]

@pdbennett69 ha? that doesn't make sen at all

[Dowson01]

Improved despite dehydration!!! I think you call this a 'learning' or 'familiarisation' effect! Maybe they should repeat this with some properly standardised tests!

[heshinator1]

todds the man, i would never do this lol, knowing you could possibly die

[MrJokertherockstar]

thats a true athlete

[talianmona]

just goes to show that rugby is the true sport of our time! PEACE!...Shot Todd! :D

[imarugbyfan2]

Todd's a real buffet, cooked sausage and a boiled checken

Way to represent USA Rugby Toddy

We're proud of you!

[Rayoohoo]

he lost 7% body weight

so 35 seconds times .93

that's 33 seconds..

[Rayoohoo]

he is 14 lbs lighter, of course he will move faster

Ray Ray Belmont Shore Rugby club

[SoulOfMasterDragon]

I dont know if youve ever run for an hour before... But your legs get tired, your body feels heavy, plus he didn't get to refuel and take a drink like you would. Even with the weight loss you would struggle. Any normal human would probably have died half way through the damn run. This happens to be one incredible exception. Let's see you exercise until you lose 14 pounds and then run raster than you did well rested? Dumbass.

[TimHowardII]

@SoulOfMasterDragon  John ran the same thing for the X-Bionic suit segment. He ran for a tad over 15 minutes before he tried the suit on.

[leereturn2006]

@SoulOfMasterDragon you are right but he is a profesional and his kidney 30% more function, + the rage, he done those excercise so many time so, it is possible.

[chris072195]

@SoulOfMasterDragon not any human most wrestlers have to go through this and some have to loss close to 15 pounds the day before their match and have to keep it off for the day off.

[randall172]

@SoulOfMasterDragon i cut 35lbs in 5 days and still won the district tournament

[salesimpactmarketing]

35 mph ... wow... no wonder rugby is such a big deal in the US

[Rayoohoo]

He is 14 lbs lighter of course he will accelerate faster

[Mhatty07]

@salesimpactmarketing

i guess u didnt pay attention to the rest of the video, i would LOVE to see a footballer try that... HA!

[JPthePanMan]

An hour being cooked like a sausage... what a champion!
