Environmental Considerations

2. Amount of moisture in the air.
5. A lowered core temperature will increase the risk of this condition.
7. Above sea level
9. The ability of the body to control its temperature
11. The transfer of heat to and from the atmosphere.
12. Arriving weeks earlier to an event to adapt to allow the body and mind to adapt to the new environment.
16. The transfer of heat from the body through direct contact with an object.
17. the process of losing heat through the movement of air across the skin.

1. surfers wear this to negate the cooling effect of the environment.
2. Athletes need to maintain this to avoid dehydration
3. An elevated core temperature will increase the risk of this condition.
4. Blood vessels expanding when the body overheats
6. Blood vessels narrowing when the body tries reduce heat loss.
8. Body produces this to decrease it's core temperature.
10. Refers to heat loss through sweating.
13. Type of Clothing worn to reduce heat loss.
14. A viable option if training or competing in a polluted environment is to wear this.
15. Refers to the presence of contaminants in the air.
