The biggest adversary an athlete might encounter isn’t other competitors, it is the environment itself. During hot weather the body generates a lot of heat and relies on the atmosphere to dissipate that extra heat. Sometimes during exercise and athlete generates heat faster than the atmosphere will allow it to dissipate, or the atmosphere as well will make the individual’s temperature rise.

Many complications can arise from the body overheating. Some of these complications are heat exhaustion, or even to heat stroke, which can be fatal in extreme cases. In a situation like this, you do not want to wait to see if the victim (or yourself) will “get over it” on their own. Medical treatment is imperative. The body’s core temperature must be brought down as soon as possible; put the victim in a cold tub of water and call an ambulance.

The right way to handle the just mentioned condition is, obviously, to stay away from them entirely. If you must be active on a very hot day, make sure that you are properly hydrated before you begin. That means drinking plenty the day before your activity. If you are a runner, plan your daily exercise to be done early in the morning or late in the evening when you won’t be exposed to the punishing heat of the direct sunlight. You should use clothing that permits your sweat to evaporate without restriction.

What this is your own bodies specific cooling mechanism, and if you don’t give it the chance to breath then it will not work properly. A well liked practice within the athletic community who are attempting to create a specific weight prefer to do their workouts in clothing that is made of plastic or even trash bags since they think they feel like this results in them creating additional sweat as well as losing additinal weight in a quicker way. This is not a totally bad idea. You sweat the same amount that you do when you are working out in normal clothes, you simply do not realize it since it is evaporating and accomplishing its task of keeping you cool. If you stop this normal process through the use of wearing clthing that holds the mojority of moisture in, then you are not giving the sweat a chance to evaporate, yet are instead keeping it in, along with the heat that you body is creating. What you are basically doing is steaming your body kind of like a vegetable. This practice is dangerous.

If you sense that you are getting too hot, listen to your body. It is telling you what it needs. Stop, drink, and cool down. If you take care of yourself in the midst of activity, then you should be able to monitor and maintain your body’s temperature and be able to resume your activity. If you let it go unchecked thinking you are invincible, then you are probably going to get yourself into trouble.
