MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 1998 Feb 20;47(6):105-8.
During November 7-December 9, 1997, three previously healthy collegiate wrestlers in different states died while each was engaged in a program of rapid weight loss to qualify for competition. In the hours preceding the official weigh-in, all three wrestlers engaged in a similar rapid weight-loss regimen that promoted dehydration through perspiration and resulted in hyperthermia. The wrestlers restricted food and fluid intake and attempted to maximize sweat losses by wearing vapor-impermeable suits under cotton warm-up suits and exercising vigorously in hot environments. This report summarizes the investigation of these three cases.
1997年11月7日至12月9日期间，来自不同州的三名此前身体健康的大学摔跤运动员在进行快速减重计划以获得参赛资格的过程中死亡。在官方称重前的数小时内，这三名摔跤运动员都采用了类似的快速减重方法，通过出汗促进脱水，导致体温过高。这些摔跤运动员限制食物和液体摄入，并试图通过在棉质热身服下穿不透气的衣服以及在炎热环境中剧烈运动来最大程度地增加出汗量。本报告总结了对这三起病例的调查情况。
