Question

1 multiple choice 1 point which of the following conditions can put you at the most risk of hyperthermia when engaging in outdoor physical activity? low heat, high humidity high heat, high humidity low heat, low humidity high heat, low humidity 2 multiple choice 1 point which condition can occur when exercising in extreme cold, windy, and wet weather? hypothermia hyperoxia hypoxia hyperthermia

Explanation:

1. Hyperthermia is an elevated body - temperature. High heat and high humidity make it difficult for the body to cool down through sweating as the sweat cannot evaporate effectively. So this condition puts one at the most risk of hyperthermia during outdoor physical activity.
2. Hypothermia occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it, which is common in extreme cold, windy, and wet weather during exercise as the wind and wetness accelerate heat loss.

Answer:

1. B. high heat, high humidity
2. A. hypothermia
