Beautiful, heat, and sometimes too hot

The sun of the summer makes in the open air the exercise really pleasant. But if you do not take precautions, to make physical efforts in full heat can endanger your health. Perspiration makes it possible the body to remain fresh during the effort, but you lose one liter with one liter and water half per hour while perspiring. And if you do not drink sufficient fluids to replace what you lost, you expose yourselves to a traumatism due to heat.

Most benign is cramp due to heat, when the muscles contract painfully because of the lack of salt and the lack of liquid during the exercise. As soon as you feel a cramp, drink – water or a drink for sportsmen – and eat something of salted; you should feel you very quickly better.

Exhaustion due to heat is more serious. You perspire abundantly, and you do not drink enough. The body cannot transport blood enough any more to the brain, the skin, the muscles, you feel thoughtless, weak, at the edge of fainding. On a certain level of body dehydration, you can be victim of a “heat stroke”, sometimes very suddenly, and which seriously endangers the life. When the mechanism of perspiration ceases functioning, the skin becomes extreme and dry, and the temperature of the body climbs at the point to cause permanent convulsions and damage with the brain. If you think that a person suffers from dehydration or hyperthermia, seek a medical help immediately. While waiting, transport the victim in a shaded place, withdraw to him his clothing, wet his body and ventilate it, then made so that its legs and its buttocks are elevated. Make drink the most possible water to him.

Here some councils to avoid you a traumatism due to heat:

Drink many liquids when you made exercise, that you are thirsty or not. Front, during, and after the activity, try to drink the value of a cup per half an hour.
To help your organization with better supporting heat and moisture, you give forms some before the hot season.
You do not over-train when the weather is hot, and often take times of pause. This is particularly true if you have just started to practice a sport or an unspecified exercise, because your body tests an additional stress of them.
Arrange you to practice your physical exercises during the freshest hours of the day, early the morning or towards the end of the afternoon. The rays of the sun are with their the hotter between 10 a.m. and 16 hours. Best is still to involve you inside, in a air-conditioned gymnasium.
Slow down the rate/rhythm of your exercises – to involve itself less longer but more intensely will not put to you safe from a traumatism due to heat.
You according to time equip – wear light clothing, clear colors, facts of fabrics which breathe. And do not forget to protect you the head, the eyes, and the skin: wear a hat and sunglasses, and made a liberal use of sun lotion.
