What can you say about the pictures?
As you engage in moderate to vigorous physical activity, you need to follow the
personal safety precautions to avoid certain conditions related to (PA) physical
activity participation especially in sports and these conditions are:
Dehydration
When the body does not have enough fluid needed to function normally, it is
dehydrated.
This happens when lost body fluids are not replaced.
To nurse dehydration, the body will need to replenish lost fluids and
electrolytes; the body needs to be hydrated.
Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and up to 12 glasses during the
summer months.
Signs and Symptoms of
dehydration:
1. Thirsty 6. Feeling tired/ Fatigue
2. Headache 7. Dry skin/ Lack of skin elasticity
3. Dry Mouth 8. Frequent need to urinate
4. Dizziness
5. Diarrhea
What are the recommendations for fluid
replacement during prolonged exercise?
Fluid replacement should be based on individual
sweat and urine losses maintaining hydration at less
than 2 percent body weight reduction. This generally
requires 7 to 10 fl. oz. every 10 to 20 minutes. The
mere act of not drinking water during exercise or hot
weather even without exercising may also trigger
dehydration.
Guidelines on Total Water Intake
Age Range Males Females
9-13 years 2.1 L/day 1.9 L/day
14-18 years 2.5 L/day 2.0 L/day
