Exercise associated hyperthermia in a healthy athlete can lead to destruction of the liver, which will require an extremely urgent liver transplant to survive.
Little is known about exercise associated hyperthermia.
Hypothermia is associated with long exposure to cold with a drop in body temperature below 35 °.
The disorder of thermal regulation leads to a progressive deterioration of vital functions and leads to cardio-respiratory collapse.
Hypothermia appears in athletes in cold environment. It often worsens due to lesions that are not always apparent. Consequently, it is desirable that the management of such injured persons should be carried out by experienced rescuers and if possible in the presence of a doctor.
Equipment adapted to its environment is essential. Likewise, you have to learn to listen to your body in order to prevent and avoid overheating.
