    Study Notes

    Thermoregulation and Exercise

    • Thirst is the sensation associated with a desire for liquids.
    • Overtraining is indicated by a slightly elevated morning heart rate.
    • Dehydration refers to excessive loss of water from the body, usually through perspiration or sweating, urination, or evaporation.

    Heat Acclimatization

    • Acclimatization is the improvement in heat tolerance that comes from gradually increasing the intensity or duration of work performed in a hot setting.
    • Sweating allows the body to dissipate heat and maintain a normal body temperature during physical activity.
    • Heat exhaustion is the condition associated with rapid physical fatigue during overexposure to heat, resulting in dizziness or fainting.

    Cold Weather Adaptation

    • Cold acclimatization refers to metabolic adjustments and improved tissue insulation for cold weather adaptation.
    • Hypothermia is the term for the condition characterized by uncontrollable shivering, loss of coordination, and mental confusion due to excessively low body temperature.

    Skin and Sun Protection

    • Miliaria, also known as prickly heat, is a benign condition associated with a red, raised rash during sweating.
    • SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, which measures the level of protection sunscreen provides against ultraviolet B (UVB) rays.
