Résumé : Immersion during long distance swimming results in hemodilution and blood accumulation in the low-pressure circulation system of the breast. These conditions differ from the effects of the classically muscular effort on land. Each intense effort gives a plasmatic water and electrolytes loss and also a stress effect in relation with the muscular activity. It seems that these phenomena largely compensate the effects of the immersion in regard to plasma ions concentration. For the other plasma parameters long distance swimming results in the same effects as those observed in efforts on land.
