Personal Safety
Protocol to Avoid Dehydration, Overexertion, Hypo and
Hyperthermia During MVPA Participation

Suzy Lamplugh Trust’s definition of personal safety is “an individual’s

ability to go about their everyday life free from the threat or fear of psychological,
emotional or physical harm from others.” It is often said that personal safety is
a matter of common sense; however, common sense does not always result in
common practice.

As you engage in moderate to vigorous physical activity, you need to observe some
personal safety precautions to avoid certain conditions related to physical activity
participation. These conditions include dehydration, overexertion, hypothermia, and
hyperthermia.
Dehydration-This refers to excessive loss of water from the body, usually through
perspiration or sweating, urination, or evaporation.

Sweating- On a normal day, the body loses about 2.5 liters of water from the
lungs and skin, from urine and feces, and from perspiration. The body must
replace this through proper hydration.

Thirst- Thirst is a sensation of dryness in the mouth and throat associated with
a desire for liquids. Maintaining water balance is an important consideration during
exercise.

Overexertion or Overtraining - This refers to the detrimental cause of excessive

training.Some individuals engage in too much physical activity.
Hyperthermia -This is an alarming rise in body temperature, which is an effect of
exercising in a very humid environment.

Hypothermia - Excessively low body temperature, characterized by uncontrollable

shivering, loss of coordination, and mental confusion.
