Q

how much dehydration impairs physiologic function and thermoregulation?

A

any degree

17
Q

dehydration %

A

3-5% of body mass loss

18
Q

at 7% loss, what will happen

19
Q

loss of how much % of body mass will affect aerobic performance

A

more than 2%

20
Q

3 factors of dehydration

A

weight thirst urine

21
Q

what color should pee be

22
Q

if you need a quicker recovery at the end, drink ____ oz/lb of body weight lost

23
Q

repeated and gradual exposure to hot environments decreases but does not eliminate the risk for heat stress

A

acclimitization

24
Q

muscle pain/spasms during activity resulting from excessive sweating, dehydration, heat

A

heat cramps

25
signs and symptoms of? muscle pains/cramps, fatigue responds to rest, moving to cool environment, fluid/Na replenish
heat cramps
26
drop in preload and CO due to prolonged standing, venous pooling, abrupt cessation of activity with inadequate cool down
heat syncope
27
signs and sx of? ``` HR, RR slow pale dizziness tunnel vision nausea ```
heat syncope
28
most common type of heat related illness
heat exhaustion
29
body cant maintain CO | cant balance needs for CO and thermoregulation
heat exhaustion
30
signs and sx of? ``` Low  BP/dizziness Elevated  HR,  RR   Skin  is  wet/pale   HA   Weakness   Chills   N/V   Diarrhea ```
heat exhaustion
31
life threatening emergency
heat stroke
32
``` Caused  by   hyperthermia  and   involves  CNS   dysfunc�on,  organ   failure,  and  possiblycoma/death.   ```
heat stroke
33
signs and sx of? ``` Disorienta�on   Dizziness   Apathy   Headache   Wet  skin   N/V   Hyperven�la�on   Irra�onal  behavior ```
heat stroke
34
Before exercise, drink ? atleast 4 hours before exercise.
.08-.11 ounces per pound
35
During exercise, drink ? for every 20 minutes of exercise.
6-12 ounces
36
sweat does not cool the skin, rather ?
the skin cools when sweat evaporates
37
primary source of heat loss
evaporation
38
coordinates temperature regulation
hypothalamus
