Football players demonstrated a variety of physiological impacts of water imbalances. A couple of the things the players experienced were 1) an intense desire to "guzzle" water, and 2) numerous negative side effects (bloating, inflammation, cramps, etc.) if they did guzzle water. Explain the following...
From an Anatomy & Physiology perspective, what caused the athletes to have the desire to drink water?
Also from an Anatomy & Physiology perspective, why did the athletes experience so many negative reactions if they did drink tons of water during their intense exercise?
