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 wish I could remember where I read the article on anerobic training (swimming many laps underwater)... darn it was just recently too... according to the article it was a very popular form of training years ago but recent research is indicating that it is more dangerous than beneficial and is a huge no no.
