How to prevent heat stroke during exercise?

Many people suffer from heatstroke during exercise, especially in summer. If you exercise too much, do not drink enough water, or exercise for too long, you are prone to heatstroke during exercise. It is relatively dangerous during exercise, so when heatstroke occurs, you must improve it through emergency treatment as soon as possible. The following is a detailed introduction on how to prevent heatstroke during exercise, so you can have a comprehensive understanding.

Heat stroke is more likely to occur when exercising in hot and warm weather. The main symptoms are weakness, dizziness, pale complexion, and in severe cases, sweating all over the body, high body temperature, and even fainting.

The treatment measures are: knead the Ren Zhong point to reduce the temperature, replenish water and salt, which can restore the patient's consciousness. If the above measures are ineffective, it is considered severe heatstroke and should be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately.

To prevent heat stroke during exercise, you can take the following measures:

1. Some people are extremely uncomfortable with hot weather and are prone to sensitivity and related symptoms. These people should avoid participating in outdoor sports in high temperature environments. These people include obese people, the elderly and weak, and those in poor physical condition.

2. Noon and the two hours thereafter are the hottest time of the day, so exercise should be avoided during this period.

3. Pay attention to replenishing water and at the same time replenishing light salt water.

4. If you feel unwell, it is best to stop exercising immediately.

Hydration

Whether it is hot or not, staying hydrated is the key to success, or even life. When you lose a lot of water, replenish it with sports drinks every 20 to 30 minutes, or drink cold boiled water with one gram of salt added per liter to slow down the loss of electrolytes and avoid cramps.

What concepts should we pay attention to when replenishing water? Cold drinks seem more delicious in summer, but please note that you should only drink cold drinks. Because cold drinks will constrict the blood vessels in the stomach and intestines, and the body must heat the drinks to a temperature suitable for absorption, which also consumes energy. During a competition, energy is consumed dramatically. There is not much energy left, and it needs to be allocated to warming ice water for easier absorption, which is really not good. Therefore, it is recommended to drink water in small amounts and multiple times.

Sports heatstroke is a relatively serious type of heatstroke, so if you choose to exercise regularly, you must have a specific understanding and knowledge of some prevention methods for sports heatstroke. For example, before exercising, you must first drink enough water. During the exercise, you must also continue to replenish water. And when replenishing water, for better results, it is best to drink some light salt water.
