HEAT AND TRAINING
At times like these it is often better to take a day off and avoid heat stroke/heat exhaustion. Please take care and caution when exercising in these extreme temperatures. Stay out of the sun, stay hydrated, and keep cool.
The Canadian Red Cross Suggests;
PREVENTION:
- Avoid being outdoors during the hottest part of the day; the sun is least strong in the early morning or later evening hours
- Slow down heat-inducing activities. Work and exercise in brief periods
- Take frequent breaks
- Dress in light, loose clothing and wear a hat
- Drink plenty of cool fluids, like water, but avoid caffeine and alcohol
SYMPTOMS TO WATCH FOR:
- Severe muscle contractions, usually in the legs or abdomen
- Normal or elevated body temperature
- Dizziness and weakness
- Rapid, weak pulse becoming irregular
- Irritable, bizarre or combative behaviour
- Headache
HOW TO HELP:
- Cool the body by bathing or sponging with lukewarm to cool water
- Stay Hyrated. Give cool fluids in small sips
- Dress appropriately by removing excess clothing and loosen existing clothing
- Move person to cooler location
- If symptoms continue CALL 911
