LESSON 8: Dehydration, Sweating, Thirst; Overexertion or
Overtraining, Hyperthermia, Hypothermia
EXPECTATIONS
This module will help you to:
• Observe personal safety protocol to avoid dehydration, overexertion,
hypo- and hyperthermia during MVPA participation;
• Understand the understated injuries during physical activities.
LOOKING BACK TO YOUR LESSON
Injuries related to overexertion account for millions of
emergency room visits each year. Most of those
injuries are preventable. To lower your risk of
experiencing them, avoid pushing your body past its
limits. Learn how to prevent physical overexertion,
fatigue, low blood sugar, and dehydration.
Guide Questions:
1. What are the indicators of overexertion or
overtraining?
2. What are the understated injuries during
physical activities?
3. What can you do to avoid these injuries?
BRIEF INTRODUCTION
When too much water is lost from the body, its organs, cells, and tissues fail
to function as they should, which can lead to dangerous complications. This
can be through dehydration, sweating, urinating or suffering from diarrhea.
4
Thirst
It’s normal to feel thirsty after eating spicy foods or performing strenuous
exercise, especially when it’s hot. However, sometimes your thirst is
stronger than usual and continues after you drink. You may even
experience blurred vision and fatigue. Frequent excessive thirst or thirst
that can’t be quenched can be symptoms of serious medical conditions,
such as; dehydration, diabetes, heart, liver, kidney failure and sepsis.
To remain healthy, you need to:
• Drink fluid regularly throughout the day.
• increase your water intake by eating water-rich foods, such as:
o watermelon
o tomatoes o
oranges o
melons
A good way to know if you’re getting enough fluids is to check your urine. If
it’s light in color, high in volume, and does not have a heavy smell, you are
probably getting enough fluid. Every organ, tissue, and cell in your body
needs water. Water helps your body to maintain a normal temperature,
lubricate and cushion your joints, protect the brain and spinal cord, rid
your body waste through perspiration, urination, and bowel movements
You need to take in extra fluids when you:
• are outdoors in hot weather
• are engaging in a vigorous activity
• have diarrhea
• are vomiting
• have a fever
If you fail to replenish the fluids you lose and fail to respond to your
thirst by drinking fluids, you can become dehydrated.
Dehydration
Enough fluids When you’re busy, you may
Drink more water forget to take regular hydration
Dehydrated breaks. This can lead to
May suffer cramps dehydration, which occurs when
your body loses more water than
Health Risk! you take in. In some cases,
Drink more water!! severe dehydration can cause
serious complications, including
kidney damage, coma, and
death.
5
To avoid dehydration, make sure you:
• drink enough water and other fluids
• replenish electrolytes lost through sweat with sports drinks or
enhanced water
• take frequent breaks from hot environments or strenuous activities
• use a damp cloth to lower your body temperature and reduce
sweating
• avoid drinking heavily caffeinated, alcoholic, and sugary beverages,
especially when you’re working out or exerting yourself
Overexertion is a common cause of dehydration, but certain diseases and
infections can also lead to fluid loss. Fever, vomiting, and diarrhea are
common causes of dehydration in children and are serious medical
concerns.
Overexertion
These types of injuries are usually caused by repetitive motion, such as
typing, lifting heavy objects, or working in an awkward position. The pain
that these injuries cause is often acute. It will typically improve with
medical care and preventative measures. But without proper treatment and
prevention, acute pain from overexertion and repetitive use can become
chronic. These are the causes of overexertion injuries includes sports and
exercise, motion control video games, and hobbies like woodworking,
building, and remodeling.
To avoid physical overexertion:
• practice good posture
• utilize ergonomic workspaces
• lift lighter loads and use proper lifting techniques
• decrease the distance you must stretch to lift a heavy object
• take frequent breaks from physically repetitive and challenging
activities
• include strength training and stretching in your regular exercise
routine
• know and respect your body’s limits
Sweating
Sweating is a bodily function that helps regulate your body temperature.
Also called perspiration, sweating is the release of a salt-based fluid from
your sweat glands. Changes in your body temperature, the outside
temperature, or your emotional state can cause sweating. Sweating in
6
normal amounts is an essential bodily process. Not sweating enough and
sweating too much can both cause problems. The absence of sweat can be
dangerous because your risk of overheating increases. Excessive sweating
may be more psychologically damaging than physically damaging. A normal
amount of sweating generally doesn’t require medical treatment.
To make yourself more comfortable and minimize your sweating:
• Wear several light layers of clothing that allow your skin to
breathe.
• Remove layers of clothing as you heat up.
• Wash dried sweat off of your face and body for optimum comfort.
• Change out of sweaty clothing to reduce the risk of bacterial or
yeast infections.
• Drink water or sports drinks to replace fluids and electrolytes lost
through sweating.
• Apply an underarm antiperspirant or deodorant to reduce odor and
control sweating.
• Remove foods from your diet that increase your sweating.
Hyperthermia / Hypothermia
Hypothermia happens when your body’s temperature
drops to dangerously low levels because of the cool
environment. The opposite can also occur. When your
temperature climbs too high and threatens your health,
it’s known as hyperthermia it refers to several
conditions that can occur when your body’s heat-
regulation system can’t handle the heat in your
environment. Preventive measures are key to avoiding
hypo and hyperthermia.
Clothing
The simplest steps you can take
involve the clothing you wear. Dress in
layers on cold days, even if you don’t
think it feels very cold outside. It’s
easier to remove clothing than it is to
battle hypothermia. Cover all body
parts, and wear hats, gloves, and
scarves in a cool environment. Also,
7
take care when exercising outdoors on cold days. Sweat can cool you
down and make your body more susceptible
to hypothermia.
Staying Dry
Staying dry is also important. Avoid swimming for long periods and make
sure that you wear water-repellant clothing in rain. If you’re stuck in the
water due to a boat accident, try to stay as dry as possible in or on the boat.
Avoid swimming until you see help nearby. Keeping the body at a normal
temperature is important to preventing hypothermia.
The first step in preventing hyperthermia is recognizing
the risks in working or playing in extremely hot
conditions. Being in the heat means taking the following
precautions:
• Take cool-down breaks in the shade or in an air-conditioned
environment. If you don’t need to be outside in extreme heat, stay
indoors.
• Stay well hydrated. Drink water or drinks containing electrolytes,
such as Gatorade or Powerade, every 15 to 20 minutes when you’re
active in the heat. NOT energy drinks or caffeine, this can cause
serious heart problems in healthy adults.
• Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing when outdoors.
• If your home isn’t well air-conditioned, consider spending time in an
air-conditioned mall, library, or other cool public place during hot
spells.
ACTIVITIES
Try this at home!
Objective: Identify the amount of fluid you need to intake to avoid
dehydration.
Directions: Go to the bathroom check your own urine, evaluate your urine
use the table below to help you identify the color. If the results shows that
you are dehydrated take the precautionary measures that you have learned
in this lesson.
8
If it’s light in color, high in volume, and does not have a heavy smell, you are
probably getting enough fluid.
REMEMBER
Objectives: In this activity you will be identifying the understated injuries
