According to Dr. Cuong, in recent years, heat shock when participating in long -distance marathon and sports tournament.Thermal shock due to efforts or young people, healthy, occurs after exposure to increased environmental temperature.At the same time, this is due to heat generation or exertion, and especially amateur athletes when participating in marathons.
Experts recommend, thermal shock damage multi -organs including the central nervous system, respiratory, circulatory, liver, kidney and hematology, causing multiple viscera failure quickly if not treated in time.Time, even death.Therefore, understanding knowledge about thermal shock, early signs of awareness, timely emergency as well as provision of thermal shock are very important, helping us reduce the rate of disease and death.
Some signs that help people recognize thermal shock early include consciousness, coma, seizure, respiratory disorders, shortness of breath, respiratory failure, cardiovascular disorders, arrhythmia,Hypotension, diuretic, accompanied by fatigue, headache, blush, can vomit, diarrhea, body temperature above 40 degrees Celsius, hot and dry skin.
To limit heat shock, you need to pay attention to the environment when you practice, try to choose cool time during the day to practice when the weather is hot.In addition, we need to avoid training for a long time and should have many interwoven (at least break after 30 minutes of practice).
To adapt to hot weather, you need about a week.Moreover, the higher the intensity of exercise, the more heat your body produces, causing the risk of heat shock.You should avoid heavy exercises when your body is not familiar with the temperature and adapts slowly through starting with light exercises in a short time.You can also apply this method when you have been practicing for a while.
