Tips for Runners to Reduce Body Heat
Wear as little as you can. Even a round brought short sleeve would cover about 40% of your body. A dress in light color is required, for it can resist the sunshine.
If conditions permit, spread some water on your body, it would be great ,and the effect turns out better when the water is cooler. This will benefit your sweat function. When it is warm, I would like run along the river Kenaz. As long as hot occurs to me, I stop running, jump into the river, and dip myself in the river (but you are not suggested to drink the water in the river). During the competition, if you are given some water beyond your need, you can drink as much as possible, then for the rest water, sprinkle it onto your body. (According to the Dr Clark, who works in the national medical institute in London, when people are running, the temperature of all the parts of the body tends to increase, and the thigh increases the most. Doing in this way, immediately, you will feel a higher level of running ability, though some runners tend to have bubbles on the wet feet.
The preparation time should be as short as possible. We have indicated before that the limbering-up activities would increase the extra body heat which is of course beyond your need. (By the way, according to the report of the Western Kentucky University, the long hair, even extending to the shoulder, won't affect the ability of the athletes to resist the heat or the ability to recover after heated.
We have delivered to the participants in the Boston Marathon a concise and comprehensive report including the above advices. We can see these words from this article. Its title is the medical facts you should know. Here is an excerpt: about the hot problem: when in conditions like this, hot, humid, or both hot and humid, people tend to be in a situation of water loss and salt loss, and the body temperature would rise to the dangerous extent. To avoid this situation, the athletes had better take exercise for a week in the warm climate, on the beginning day for the game, the runners should have breakfast before AM.10 (the Boston Marathon game usually starts at noon), and some salt can be added to the breakfast or, one or two cup of very salty broth can be drank. (Take salt before the race would cause nausea). In the course of the game, every time passing by a site supplying water and food, you'd better have two or three ounces of water. It is too late for you to drink when you feel thirsty.
Actually, heat doesn't make everyone obsessed. Seeming to have some unique ability to protect themselves form heat, even when it is midsummer, some people still can run very well, while for other runners, they would slow their running steps at the very start of hot days.
A person's heat-resisting ability depends partly on his bulk. In the hot days, there is no advantage for a person with a big weight, because such people have less skin surface area to eliminate heat. What's worse, hot would be stooped inside by Fat. However, in hot days, the gap among the abilities of running for different people is so big that it is just beyond the imagination; Maybe the best explanation is that we each person are not exactly the same.
We can't treat humidity as a problem. As a matter of fact, only when it is hot, and humidity makes it more difficult for the runners to run, humidity can be thought as a problem. With the humidity one hundred percent and without wind, it is difficult to make the sweat evaporate. In this case, the heat is beyond your ability to resist it, and this is harmful to you. To get some information about the humidity, a wet bubble thermometer can be used, and in this way, you can know how serious the problems caused by humidity. If the temperature is more than seventy degrees, then the game will be difficult for the runner to continue. If the temperature is more than eighty degrees, then whatever sports you are engaged in, this has nearly reached the ceiling.
