Exhaustion |
| |
Prevention of exhaustion involves a lot of common sense.
• First and foremost, know your limits.
• It helps to be in shape and use your fuel efficiently. That's where conditioning comes in.
• Be prepared with the right clothing and equipment.
• Continue to fuel up the entire time that you are exercising.
• Choose foods with sugar for quick energy and carbohydrates for a more sustained fuel source.
• Water is also necessary for expending any energy and prevents dehydration.

Trying to Beat the Heat |
| |
because we are warm-blooded animals, our bodies perform best when we maintain 98.6°. However if it is hot outside, then it is difficult for our bodies to keep that temperature. People who are prone to getting hot easily are subject to a number of problems.
• You should always drink plenty of water because as your temperature rises, you will begin to lose water and could become dehydrated.
• Wear good protective clothing such as a hat; a thin, light-colored, long-sleeve shirt; and a pair of pants. These items will offer you more protection than shorts and a t-shirt.
