The occurrence of functional disorders including gastroesophageal reflux, bloating, vomiting, dyspepsia, acute diarrhoeal have been reported. The occurrence of gastrointestinal bleeding has also been reported especially in long-distance runners. The mucosal lesions could be related to hemodynamic changes in the splanchnic area. A decrease in splanchnic blood flow has been described during physical exercise. Exertional heat stroke results in a liver failure occurring after a long intensive exercise, often, but not always in a hot environment.
