Dehydration, Overexertion,
Hypo-and Hyperthermia
during MVPA Participation

What I Need to Know

In this module, you will go deeper and further. You will be given opportunities to reflect
and understand more on how to avoid dehydration, overexertion, hypo-and hyperthermia during
MVPA participation. Activities will be provided for you to integrate the lesson into real-life
situation which will in turn be beneficial for you to stay healthy and safe.
After going through this module, it aims to

1. Identify the barriers/ reasons that hindrance to be active in sports.

2. Observes personal safety protocol to avoid dehydration, overexertion, hypo-
and hyperthermia during MVPA Participation through poster making.
3. Discuss the importance of following safety protocols in sports.

What I Know

Pre-Test

Directions: List 5 unexpected conditions/injury during playing sports. Write your

answer on your worksheet.

 What’s In

Playing sports has both physical and psychological benefits. Sports can increase
physical coordination, fitness, and self-esteem. They also teach important lessons about
teamwork and self-discipline. However, sports are at risk of injuries, pains and bad
conditions to your body. In playing sports you should know the safety protocols to avoid
different injuries and conditions such as dehydration. Dehydration is a problem in combat
sports because when you engage intense physical activity you will lose a percentage of
body weight through water loss. This module will discuss about the safety protocols to
avoid to avoid dehydration, overexertion, hypo-and hyperthermia during MVPA
participation. Your safety is paramount.

What’s New

What is It

Recognizing Dehydration, Overexertion, Hypo-and Hyperthermia in Sports

A. Dehydration

Dehydration occurs when you use or lose more fluid than you take in, and your body
doesn't have enough water and other fluids to carry out its normal functions. If you don't
replace lost fluids, you will get dehydrated.

Fluid replacement is an important part of any athletic regimen, but proper hydration is
one of the most neglected aspects of the athlete’s diet.  Active sports medicine
podiatrists should also be able to develop a plan for establishing hydration protocols at
sporting events.    When athletes engage in sport, they will lose a percentage of body
weight through water loss. When their sweat loss exceeds fluid intake, athletes become
dehydrated during activity.

a. Dehydration of 1 to 2 percent of body weight begins to compromise physiologic

function and negatively influences performance.
b. Dehydration of greater than 3 percent of body weight further disturbs physiologic
function and increases the athlete’s risk of developing heat cramps or heat
exhaustion.
c. Loss of 5 percent or more body weight can result in heatstroke. 

3
 These levels of dehydration are common in sports and can occur in just an hour of
exercise or even more rapidly if the athlete is dehydrated before exercising or
participating in a sports activity.

Preventing Dehydration

1. Drink plenty of water, as directed by your doctor.

2. Eat foods with high amounts of water like fruits and vegetables.
3. Avoid or limit drinks with caffeine like coffee, teas and soft drinks.
4. Pay attention to the possible symptoms of dehydration.
5. Assess the inside of your mouth for dehydration symptoms
6. Bring extra electrolytes when needed through a sports drink.

B. Overexertion

Overexertion also results in underperformance. It develops after a series of extremely

high intensity trainings and is associated with other factors such as diet (e.g., weight loss
diet), social (stress at school or work), and mental (e.g. rejection) factors, making it a
complex process.

Overexertion is defined as a loss of performance ability, despite the maintenance of or

an increase in training effort which cannot be explained by any discrete pathology.
Overexertion is a well-recognized syndrome in human athletes in which increases or
maintenance of training intensity are associated with decrements in performance.

Causes of Overexertion

Fatigue. Burning the candle at both ends is unsustainable and many times less
efficient when completing tasks over a long period of time. Sleep or rest is essential
to allow the mind and body to heal and recharge after a strenuous workday.

Force. Force-related hazards can be present when lifting, pushing, pulling, carrying,
and gripping using tools.

Awkward or static postures. Posture-related hazards can be present when

bending, twisting, reaching, and kneeling.

Repetitive movements/actions. Repetition-related hazards can be present when

doing the same thing over and over again, with little time for rest.

Rapid movements and unanticipated muscle loading. Slipping, rushing or

reacting to the sudden movement of a load, activates muscles quickly and can result
in strains and sprains because it does not allow the use of supporting muscle
groups.

Other overexertion injury hazards. Include contact stress, hand-arm vibration,

whole-body vibration, impacts with hands/knees, and working in extreme hot or cold
environments.

Overexertion Prevention

1. Limit the amount of weight you carry

2. Make sure that your toes are always pointing in the same direction.
3. Avoid doing repetitive workouts as they create tension in the muscles
4. Repeating certain movements for longer duration may increase your stress level
5. Take breaks between your exercises
6. Have a good sleep for at least 8 hours

Protocols to Avoid Hyperthermia and Hypothermia while Playing Sports

Hyperthermia

1. Take cool-down breaks in the shade or in an air-conditioned environment. If you

don’t need to be outside in extreme heat, stay indoors.
2. Stay well hydrated. Drink water or drinks containing electrolytes, such as
Gatorade or Powerade, every 15 to 20 minutes when you’re active in the heat.
3. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing when outdoors.
4. If your home isn’t well air-conditioned, consider spending time in an air-
conditioned mall, library, or other cool public place during hot spells.

Hypothermia

1. Get out of the cold, wind, rain, or snow if possible.

2. Add warm layers of clothing.
3. Eat carbohydrates.
4. Drink fluids.
5. Move your body to help warm your core.
6. Warm up any area with frostnip.

What I Have Learned

Remember:
 Overexertion is defined as a loss of performance ability, despite the
maintenance of or an increase in training effort which cannot be explained
by any discrete pathology.
 Dehydration occurs when you use or lose more fluid than you take in, and
your body doesn't have enough water and other fluids to carry out its
normal functions. If you don't replace lost fluids, you will get dehydrated.
 Hypothermia associated with being overwhelmingly cold.
 Hyperthermia associated with heat-related conditions characterized by an
abnormally high body temperature
