Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After running a marathon, it is common to lose some body weight due to dehydration, as the body loses water and electrolytes through sweating. A 3% weight loss can be significant and indicates that Joshua likely did not adequately hydrate during the race. Cystic fibrosis, brain cancer, and liver failure are not related to running a marathon and would not be the likely cause of Joshua's symptoms.
