Prevention of heat emergencies
|
• proper fluid intake
• gradual acclimatization • identify susceptible individuals • keep weight records • appropriate uniform selection |
|
discuss proper fluid intake
|
• We need water & electrolytes
• We need ½ oz. of water for every pound of body weight, then ↑ as needed • Water colder than room temp absorbs faster • Urine color is the best gauge |
|
Identify individuals susceptible to heat stroke
|
large people
• Overfat b/c adipose tissue stores increase body temp • Muscular b/c muscle contractions produce heat |

pale, waxy skin blistering |
|
How can weight records help maintain adequate hydration?
|
3-5% of body weight lost during an event is too much; hold the athlete out from play until hydration is bette
