Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Xiujing Zhao's research investigates physiological responses to environmental stressors, particularly focusing on hydration and thermoregulation during exercise in heat. Zhao has published work examining the association between knowledge, health habits, and physiological hydration status in adults. Further research explores hydration strategies in ultra-endurance running, comparing programmed versus thirst-driven approaches. Investigations also include the assessment of biomarkers for organ stress and injury following marathon events and the reliability and validity of portable sodium analyzers during exercise in the heat. Zhao has also explored the effectiveness of different heat index measures in identifying heat stress compensability during cycling and the thermoregulation responses in varied heat conditions. Collaborations include extensive work with Brendon P. McDermott, Cory L. Butts, Shawn C. Wierick, and Abigail K. Morris at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
