10. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.
