Dehydration
In physiology, dehydration is a deficit
of total body water, with an
accompanying disruption of
metabolic processes. It occurs when
free water loss exceeds free water
intake, usually due to exercise,
disease, or high environmental
temperature. Mild dehydration can
also be caused by immersion
diuresis, which may increase risk of
decompression sickness in divers.

THIRST
It is the craving for potable fluids,
resulting in the basic instinct of animals
to drink. It is an essential mechanism
involved in fluid balance. It arises from
a lack of fluids or an increase in the
concentration of certain osmolites,
such as sodium. If the water volume of
the body falls below a certain
threshold or the osmolite concentration
becomes too high, structures in the
brain detect changes in blood
constituents and signal thirst.

Perspiration
Perspiration, also known as
sweating, is the production of
fluids secreted by the sweat
glands in the skin of
mammals. Two types of sweat
glands can be found in
humans: eccrine glands and
apocrine glands.
Perspiration
The eccrine sweat glands are
distributed over much of the body and
are responsible for secreting the watery,
brackish sweat most often triggered by
excessive body temperature. The
apocrine sweat glands are restricted to
the armpits and a few other areas of the
body and produce an odorless, oily,
opaque secretion which then gains its
characteristic odor from bacterial
decomposition.
Hyperthermia
Hyperthermia, also known simply as
overheating, is a condition where an
individual's body temperature is elevated
beyond normal due to failed
thermoregulation. The person's body
produces or absorbs more heat than it
dissipates.
Hyperthermia
When extreme temperature elevation
occurs, it becomes a medical
emergency requiring immediate
treatment to prevent disability or death.
Almost half a million deaths are
recorded every year from
hyperthermia, ten times more deaths
than from hypothermia.
Hyperthermia
Hypothermia
Hypothermia is defined as a
body core temperature below
35.0 °C in humans. Symptoms
depend on the temperature.
In mild hypothermia, there is
shivering and mental
confusion.
Hypothermia
In moderate hypothermia,
shivering stops and confusion
increases. In severe
hypothermia, there may be
paradoxical undressing, in
which a person removes their
clothing

Hypothermia
Overexertion
Overtraining occurs when a person
exceeds their body's ability to
recover from strenuous exercise.
Overtraining can be described as a
point where a person may have a
decrease in performance and
plateauing as a result of failure to
consistently perform at a certain
level or training load; a load which
exceeds their recovery capacity.
Overexertion
People who are over trained
cease making progress, and
can even begin to lose
strength and fitness.
Overtraining is also known as
chronic fatigue, burnout and
overstress in athletes.
Overexertion
. It is suggested that there are different variations of
overtraining, first, monotonous program over
training suggest that repetition of the same
movement such as certain weight lifting and
baseball batting can cause performance plateau
due to an adaption of the central nervous system
which results from a lack of stimulation.
Overexertion
. A second example of overtraining is
described as chronic overwork type
training where the subject may be
training with too high intensity or high
volume and not allowing sufficient
recovery time for the body.
