train until you puke

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 puked from swimming once: My 100 split in a 200 was faster than my PR. The last 3 laps were hell. I seriously thought I was going to die right before I puked. Then I felt better - immediately. Because I was in High School I thought it was cool.
