Heat Scholarly Questions to Prepare for Exam 3. Class, please prepare to write short essay answers to these questions.

Human Thermoregulation question:
Discuss the primary methods in which humans lose heat during exercise. In your answer, be sure to discuss the mechanisms of heat transfer as they pertain to an exercising human. Additionally, address the physiological mechanisms of thermoregulation (i.e., how does our body respond to heat and how does this help keep us cool?).

Heat and exercise performance question:
How does acute heat exposure impact anaerobic and aerobic type exercise differently (assuming no acclimation) and why do these differences occur? If you were working with a marathon runner, who will be competing in the heat, how might you acclimate or acclimatize this individual for the event. What type of adaptations would you expect to occur and how long will it take for these adaptations to occur? How might these adaptations result in improved endurance exercise performance?

Heat related illness question:
What are the 4 types of heat related illness and how do they differ from each other? Describe how you might treat an individual suffering from each condition. How might you use the information from a wet-bulb globe temperature to determine the risk of exercising in the heat? If an individual is exercising in the heat, what might be a practical method in which you could monitor their hydration?
