Across
  1. 8. Redness, swelling, and tingling of the skin resulting from prolonged exposure to cold for more than 60 minutes.
  2. 9. Sickness Illness caused by a shortage of oxygen when ascending to high altitudes where barometric pressure is lower.
  3. 11. Extremely painful muscle cramps, often in the calf or abdomen, caused by muscle overload and fatigue during or after exercise.
  4. 12. A superficial nonfreezing cold injury where ice crystals form on the skin surface, often affecting the ears, nose, cheeks, and fingers.
  5. 13. A deficit of body water caused by acute or chronic dehydration.
  6. 16. A measure of a sunscreen's effectiveness in absorbing UV radiation.
  7. 19. A condition characterized by abnormally low body temperature
  8. 20. A hyperextension injury of the great toe that occurs more frequently on synthetic playing surfaces.
  9. 21. An objective measure used to determine necessary precautions for practice and competition in hot weather by incorporating different temperature measurements.
  10. 22. Physiological stress resulting from a desynchronization of the body’s internal clock after traveling across multiple time zones.
Down
  1. 1. A moderate heat illness resulting from dehydration and the inability to sustain adequate cardiac output.
  2. 2. A condition in which, for one reason or another, the body temperature is elevated.
  3. 3. A state of excessive total body water content.
  4. 4. A condition where abnormal hemoglobin molecules deoxygenate and clump together during exercise at high altitudes, potentially leading to a ruptured spleen.
  5. 5. A factor that accentuates low temperatures through the combination of wind and dampness, increasing the risk of hypothermia.
  6. 6. A fluid/electrolyte disorder resulting in abnormally low sodium levels in the blood, often caused by over-consuming hypotonic fluids during prolonged exercise.
  7. 7. A state of optimal total body water content in which the body's systems function most efficiently.
  8. 10. A life-threatening emergency caused by thermoregulatory failure, characterized by central nervous system dysfunction and a core temperature of 105 F or higher.
  9. 14. The process of gradually adapting to exercising in hot temperatures, typically occurring over a 7–14 day period.
  10. 15. A pre-established safety plan for every venue that includes a chain of command and specific criteria for suspending and resuming activity during lightning storms.
  11. 17. Local cooling of the body that results in tissue damage; it can be superficial or deep.
  12. 18. Defined as the loss of 2 percent or more of body weight due to fluid loss.
