Question

Evan Dunfee, an elite Canadian race walker, won the bronze medal at the World Championships in Doha. The heat was a major obstacle to performance, but Evan was able to make the best out of the situation by adopting a variety of cooling, hydration, and nutrition strategies. Limiting dehydration is key to aerobic performance. A) Dehydration should be limited to what % of body weight? B) In your own words, describe how sweat and the process of sweating contribute to body temperature control. C) List the 2 main electrolytes lost through sweat.

A study showed that the core body temperature of athletes rose about 0.2°C during heavy exercise. Which of the following is a likely explanation for the rise in temperature? A Exercise makes the athlete sweat. B Combustion during cellular respiration generates heat. C Cellular respiration generates more waste heat during exercise. D Muscles used in exercise start to respire.

Evaporation of sweat is an important mechanism for temperature control in some warm-blooded animals. (a) What mass of water must evaporate from the skin of a 70.0-kg man to cool his body 1.00 C$^\circ$? The heat of vaporization of water at body temperature (37$^\circ$C) is $2.42 \times 10{^6} J/kg$. The specific heat of a typical human body is 3480 J/kg $\cdot$ K (see Exercise 17.25). (b) What volume of water must the man drink to replenish the evaporated water? Compare to the volume of a soft-drink can (355 cm$^3$).

evaporation-of-water-from-our-skin-is-a-very-important-mechanism-for-controlling-body-temperature-a-

Evaporation of water from our skin is a very important mechanism for controlling body temperature. (a) This is because (1) water has a high specific heat, (2) water has a high latent heat of vaporization, (3) water contains more heat when hot, (4) water is a good heat conductor. (b) In a 3.5 -h intense cycling race, a cyclist can loses $7.0 \mathrm{~kg}$ of water through perspiration. Estimate how much heat the cyclist loses in the process.
