Acclimation is best achieved through
Exercising at low-to moderate intensity in the heat for 1h/day for 9 to 14 days
Although the majority of ATP breakdown contributes to cellular work, approximately 25% of it contributes to metabolic heat production. (T/F)
False
Frost bitten tissue should be rapidly rewarmed as quickly as possible. (T/F)
False
Higher circulating catecholamines during cold exposure contribute to higher FFA oxidation. (T/F)
False
Meteorological heat index and environmental WBGT values provide identical information. (T/F)
False
When C, K, E, and R are considered together, heat transfer occurs
Four times faster in water than in air
During exercise in the cold, the primary metabolic substrate is
Glucose/glycogen due to increased circulating catecholamines
If core temperature is not excessively high but an athlete is still exhibiting dizziness, nausea or vomiting; and a rapid weak pulse, he or she is most likely suffering from
Heat exhaustion
______ is most effectively treated using whole-body immersion in an ice bath.
Heatstroke
Increased plasma volume with heat acclimation leads to
Increased cardiac output and skin blood flow

Radiation
Heat cramps must be treated with
Rapid sodium replenishment
When sweat glands become more sensitive to aldosterone after acclimation, they
Reduce sweat sodium content
A good way to minimize the chance of hyperthermia is to
