Document Summary

Heat - harder to dissipate internal body heat and external heat from the environment = increased cardiovascular stress, high hr, possible dehydration: heat exhaustion, heat stroke. Sweat is the body"s cooling system- evaporation of sweat keep body cool. Most stressful exercise environment: heat and humidity. Precautions: wear lightweight, well ventilated clothing, wear light-colored clothing in the sun o. Select garments that allow body to give off heat during exercise and retain heat after. If you are exercising in the water, keep hydrating because you won"t realize you are even sweating. High altitude - partial pressure of oxygen in air is reduced = less oxygen for working muscles o. Reduce exercise intensity: more gradual warm-up and cool down. Low-to-no impact activities to minimize stress on joints. Low intensity, high duration activity to maximize calorie burn o. Simple steps, balancing exercises to improve coordination. Arthritis: osteoarthitis-degeneration of cartilage causing pain and loss of motion o. Exercise to improve rom and develop strength.
