I was talking to an old high school classmate of mine who was on the swim team. He said that the coach liked to work the team so hard during practice that somebody would end up puking. This story is probably hyperbole, but I wonder -- what is the physiological mechanism that results in nausea, light-headedness and cold sweats when one over-exerts oneself in this way??

I have a friend who once swam at university elite level and he said that he would puke regulary after training - I think this is a real shocker
