The Thermal Shock During Your Exercise

During the physical activities which involve resistance skills, the body temperature usually increases from the normal level of thirty-seven degrees to forty degrees Celsius, regardless of the conditions. If the environment is very hot or if there are high humidity levels, as well as if you have too many cloths on, the temperature can easily increase to forty-one or forty-two degrees Celsius. When it comes to such levels, the temperature itself starts destroying the cells, especially the brain ones. When this happens, there are several symptoms you can identify.

First of al, you feel extremely weak, exhausted in fact and you have terrible headaches. Then, you feel confused, you feel nauseous and you sweat very much. Last but not least, you may collapse and lose your consciousness. All this process is known as thermal shock and it can even lead to death if it is not treated. In fact, even if the person has stopped doing their exercise, the temperature doesn't decrease right away. One of the reasons why this happens is that the system which regulates the body temperature is no longer sufficient. A second reason would be that the high temperature almost doubles the rate of all the intracellular chemical reactions, therefore, more heat is released.

The thermal shock is treated by decreasing the body temperature in a very short period of time. In order to succeed in doing this, the one suffering must have all their clothes removed, must be spread with water continuously and they need to have a ventilator blowing on their body. According to the experiments which have been made, this treatment can reduce the body temperature just as quickly as any other method, although some doctors advise us to introduce the person in question in a tub full of ice water.
