 HYPOTHERMIA
Hypothermia is a medical emergency that occurs when your body
loses heat faster than it can produce heat, causing a dangerously
low body temperature. Normal body temperature is around 98.6 F
(37 C). Hypothermia (hi-poe-THURme-uh) occurs as your body
temperature falls below 95 F (35 C). This occurs when the body
begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced. Prolonged
exertion leads to progressive muscular fatigue. As exposure
continues and additional body heat is lost, the cold reaches the
brain. One loses judgment and the ability to reason. Speech
becomes slow and slurred and control of hands is lost.
 PREVENTION OF HYPOTHERMIA

● wear warm, multi-layered clothing with good hand

and feet protection
● wear warm headgear
● if possible, change into dry clothes whenever clothing
becomes wet
● find appropriate shelter to stay warm.
 OVEREXERTION
This refers to the detrimental cause of excessive training.
Physical condition usually caused by repetitive motion,
such as typing, lifting heavy objects, or working in an
awkward position. Some individuals engage in too much
physical activity. Some exercisers and athletes often push
themselves too hard in their pursuit of high-level
performance. Thus, they are susceptible to a variety of
hyperkinetic conditions known as overload syndrome.
This condition is characterized by fatigue, irritability and
sleep problems, as well as increased risks for injuries.
