Safety Protocol to avoid

Dehydration, Overexertion,
Hypothermia, and
Hyperthermia during
MVPA Participation
Exercise and physical activity is
good for the health, but anything
in excess or having poor
execution is bad.
 DEHYDRATION

• Or loss of fluids occurs in

exercise through sweat,
breath, and urine.
• Will result in the loss of
coordination and of fatigue.
To avoid dehydration:
a. Must drink fluids before,
during and after exercise.
b. One to two cups of fluid must
be consumed around 30
minutes to 1 hour prior to
exercise.
c. Half to one cup of fluid must
be consumed every 10 to 15
minutes of exercise.
d. 3 to 4 cups of fluid must be
consumed after 30 minutes
of exercise, even if one is not
thirsty.
OVEREXERTION

• Come in the form of any exercise

greater than the capacity of an
individual to handle.
• Can be a factor of frequency,
intensity, time, and type.
• Training might be too frequent,
intensity might be too hard, time
might be too long and type of
exercise might be too much.
• To avoid overexertion:
a. Training must start
from a low level of
exertion before
graduating to higher
levels.
• To avoid overexertion:
a. Training must start
from a low level of
exertion before
graduating to higher
levels.
• If hypothermia happens:
a. Person must be moved
to a warm place, be
warmed up quickly and
if awake, be given warm
fluids.
• To avoid hypothermia:
a. Must layer clothes and
cover parts of the body
with other types of
clothing such as hats,
mittens, ear covers.
 HYPERTHERMIA(HEAT ILLNESS)
• Is a product of losing too much
water and heating up because
of exercise.
• Three conditions may occur:
a. Heat cramps
b. Heat exhaustion
c. Heat stroke
HEAT CRAMPS
• a type of heat illness, are
muscle spasms that result
from loss of large amount of
salt and water through
exercise. Heat cramps are
associated with cramping in
the abdomen and arms . This
can be caused by inadequate
consumption of fluids or
electrolytes.
 HEAT CRAMPS
• Heat cramps usually go away
on their own, but you can try
one of these home remedies:
• Rest in a cool place and drink a
sports drink, which has
electrolytes and salt, or drink
cool water.
• Make your own salt solution by
mixing 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon
table salt dissolved in a quart of
water.
 HEAT EXHAUSTION

• is a condition whose symptoms

may include heavy sweating
and a rapid pulse, a result of
your body overheating. It's one
of three heat-related
syndromes, with heat cramps
being the mildest
and heatstroke being the most
severe.
HEAT STROKE

• a condition marked by fever

and often by
unconsciousness, caused by
failure of the body's
temperature-regulating
mechanism when exposed
to excessively high
temperatures.
