Abstract

The article presents information on the requirement of maintaining a permissible body temperature while playing sports. It suggests to balance the processes of conduction, convection, and the evaporation of sweat helps in achieving the balance between heat gained from metabolism and heat lost to the environment. It further suggests to remain hydrated while working out in the heat for preventing hyperthermia and dehydration.
