HEAT EXHAUSTION: dehydration + ineffective circulatory system

EXERCISING IN THE HEAT – EFFECTS OF DEHYDRATIONEXERCISING IN THE HEAT – EFFECTS OF DEHYDRATION

↓ Blood Pressure

DizzinessHeadacheGeneral fatigueNausea

Must stop, drink fluid and lie

down with feet up!

↑ Heart Rate

Dehydration as a result of exercising in the heatDehydration as a result of exercising in the heat

Children have increased risk heat exhaustion due to following reasons:

•Lower sweating rate than adults•Higher core temp during exercise•Less developed sweat glands•Smaller hearts leading to lower

cardiac output

EXERCISING IN THE HEAT – HEAT ACCLIMATISATIONEXERCISING IN THE HEAT – HEAT ACCLIMATISATION

• HOW TO ACCLIMATISE; 7-14 days living and training in heat is recommended The first sessions of heat acclimatisation should last for 15-20 minutes

and be combined with light to moderate activity. It should increase to 45-60min daily for approx 8-9 days with an

increase in exercise intensity & duration. Athletes who are unable to use natural acclimatisation should use;

Artificial heat sources Climate chambers Saunas Sweat clothing

Should be completed 4-6weeks prior to competition and then 2* per week leading up to competition to maintain benefits

Never restrict fluids and avoid extending acclimatisation training beyond 14 days as it may lead to tiredness and overtraining!

ALTITUDEALTITUDE• Mexico City only Olympics held at altitude – 7500 feet

World records smashed in throwing, sprint and jump events as a result of reduced air density, resulting in less friction. Also reduced gravitational pull on objects meant objects travelled further for a given force.

Endurance performance was significantly hampered as a result of lower O2 partial pressures reducing O2 uptake and hence O2 delivery to the working muscles (see next slide). Low humidity also increased the risk of dehydration.

Never to be held at altitude again! Athletics comps now held below 1500m (5000 feet).

Every 300m above 1500m, aerobic capacity is reduced by approx 3%.

During the Mexico Olympics, events such as the 10 000m

recorded times 1min slower with the Kenyans, who trained at

altitude, dominating endurance events!

• When we inhale, oxygen moves through the lungs and into the alveoli where it diffuses to the blood to be transported to the tissues. Gas exchange takes place due to a pressure difference called a pressure gradient. The

alveoli is high in oxygen and hence is high in pressure. The blood is low in oxygen and hence low in pressure.

This pressure differential causes oxygen to move from the lungs into the blood

• At altitude, there is a reduction in the pressure of oxygen entering the lungs. This reduces the pressure difference with the result being less oxygen diffusing from the alveoli into the blood. At sea level, oxygen has a partial pressure of 159mmHg At Mt Everest, oxygen has a partial pressure of 48mmHg In surrounding venous blood, oxygen has a partial pressure of 47mmHg

• In preparation for the Beijing Olympics, many fears were raised regarding the effects pollution would have on the athletes, particularly endurance athletes such as marathon runners and triathletes. As a result Australian athletes travelled to China as late as possible,

completing their final preparations in Australia!

Haile Gebrselassie (pictured right), the world-record holder in the marathon and perhaps the biggest name in distance running did not compete in the Beijing marathon due to concerns about pollution, heat and humidity. Gebrselassie, 34, has exercise-induced asthma and feared that the conditions expected in China could damage his body and prevent him from competing at a high level in the future.

FUELING ENERGY SYSTEMSFUELING ENERGY SYSTEMS

• The fuel source used for ATP production is based on the duration and intensity of exercise.

• Low intensity – stored fats are the main energy source • As intensity of exercise increase, muscle glycogen contributes more - up to 90

minutes depending on intensity. Athletes “hit the wall” when muscle glycogen runs out. When muscle glycogen runs out, the stored liver glycogen kicks in to allow exercise

to continue but performance starts to diminish. • Depletion of liver glycogen is referred to as “bonking” and affects the brain –

decision making ability affected.• Fats now become the primary fuel source and intensity of exercise is reduced

as fats are more difficult to break down• Depletion of fats results in protein being used as an energy source

This is only likely to occur in ultra endurance events

• ANAEROBIC CAPACITY Significantly lower ability to work anaerobically than adolescents

and adults• Lower levels muscle glycogen – tire much more quickly as result

Anaerobic training is seen to significantly improve children’s anaerobic capacity as a result of the following adaptations;

• ↑ resting levels of PCR, ATP, and glycogen• ↑ anaerobic enzymes
