Effect of aging on changes in plasma potassium during exercise.
J Gerontol. 1993; (4): M140-5
Exercising skeletal muscle releases large amounts of potassium into plasma. beta-adrenergic receptors enhance reuptake of potassium into muscle. Since beta-adrenergic responses decline with aging in many tissues, the elderly might be predisposed to hyperkalemia during exercise.
