Module 5
 Target
Exercise and physical activity is good for health, but anything in
excess or having poor execution is bad. Certain conditions such as
dehydration, overexertion, hypothermia, and hyperthermia may occur if
exercise and precautions are not in place.

This module aims to give safety guidelines and activities that will help
you observe personal safety protocol to avoid dehydration, overexertion,
hypothermia and hyperthermia when you participate in moderate to vigorous
physical activity.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Observes personal safety protocol to avoid dehydration, overexertion,
hypoand hyperthermia during MVPA participation (PEH12FH-IIk-t-10);
and
2. Identify the conditions if exercise and precautions are not in place.

Before going on, check how much you know about this topic.

 Figure 1. Moderate vs Vigorous Physical Activity
Figure 1 shows the different examples of physical activity and the difference of
moderate and vigorous physical activity.
In this module, you will learn the safety protocols to avoid dehydration,
overexertion, hypothermia and hyperthermia during moderate to vigorous
physical activity participation.

Jumpstart

For you to understand the lesson well, do the following activities.

Have fun and good luck!
Activity 1: Read Me! Understand Me!

Direction: Read the conditions such as dehydration, overexertion, hypothermia and

hyperthermia. Understand what you are reading.

 Dehydration is a state that
happens when the loss of body fluids,
mostly water, exceeds the amount
that is taken in. With dehydration,
more water is moving out of our cells
and bodies than what we take in
through drinking.

Overexertion injuries can occur when the body is hardpressed further

than its limits during exhausting or extreme exercise and may
come in the form of any exercise greater than the capacity of
an individual to handle.

Hypothermia is a life-threatening and serious

condition that occurs when your body loses heat
faster than it can produce heat, causing your
body temperature to drop below 95 °F (35 °C).
Exposure to cold air or water are the most
common causes of hypothermia which is why it
afflicts unprepared campers, hikers, or swimmers.

Hyperthermia refers to a group of heat-related conditions characterized

by an abnormally high body temperature. Hyperthermia is a
result of the body being over heated. The condition occurs when
the body’s heat-regulation system becomes overwhelmed by
outside factors, causing a person’s internal temperature to rise.
People with some level of hyperthermia have a body temperature
of more than 100.4°F
(38°C). The safe range of temperature for bath water is between 98–100 °F.
Directions: Choose your answer from the given choices.
Q1. What is the condition of having an abnormally low body temperature, typically, one that
is dangerously low?
A. Dehydration B. Hyperthermia C. Hypothermia D. Overexertion
Q2. Which of the following condition is the loss of fluids that occurs in exercise through
sweat, breath and urine.
A. Dehydration B. Hyperthermia C. Hypothermia D. Overexertion

Q3. What condition comes in the form of any exercise greater than the capacity of an
individual to handle?
A. Dehydration B. Hyperthermia C. Hypothermia D. Overexertion

4
Q4. Which of the following condition marked by fever and often by unconsciousness, caused
by failure of the body's temperature-regulating mechanism when exposed to excessively
high temperatures?
A. Dehydration B. Hyperthermia C. Hypothermia D. Overexertion

For Q5. Concept Map; Write the words that come to your mind upon reading the words

Dehydration

Discovery

Dehydration can be a severe condition that can lead to problems ranging

from swollen feet or a headache to serious illnesses such as heat stroke.

The signs and symptoms of

dehydration range from minor to
severe and may include;
 Increased thirst
 Dry mouth swollen tongue
 Weakness
 Dizziness
 Palpitation or the feeling that the
heart is jumping or pounding
 Confusion
 Slowness
 Fainting
 Incapability to sweat
 Decreased urine excretion

Overexertion 5
Below are steps you can take to prevent OVEREXERTION.
 Know your limits – pace yourself and know when to
say “enough”
 Stretch and warm-up before heavy lifting
 Lift properly – Avoid back injuries by lifting with your
legs bent, keep the object close to your body.
 Set obtainable goals

 Proper nutrition Listen to your body – If something hurts

never ignore it as taking a small injury or a small ache or
pain for granted may end up turning into a much bigger
problem.
Signs and Symptoms of Hypothermia?
 Shivering, which may stop as hypothermia progresses
(shivering is actually a good sign that a person's heat regulation
systems are still active.)
 Slow, shallow breathing
 Confusion and memory loss
 Drowsiness or exhaustion
 Slurred or mumbled speech
 Loss of coordination, fumbling hands, stumbling steps
 A slow, weak pulse
 In severe hypothermia, a person may be unconscious without obvious
signs of breathing or a pulse Treatment
 Remove any wet clothes, hats, gloves, shoes, and socks.
 Protect the person against wind, drafts, and further heat loss with
warm, dry clothes and blankets.
 Move gently to a warm, dry shelter as soon as possible.
 Begin rewarming the person with extra clothing.
 Offer warm liquids, but avoid alcohol and caffeine, which speed up
heat loss. Don't try to give fluids to an unconscious person.

Signs and Symptoms of Hyperthermia?

The symptoms of hyperthermia depend on the stage it has reached or
how much the body is overheated. Symptoms of overheating may develop
very quickly or over the course of hours or days.

6
Types of hyperthermia and their associated symptoms include:

Heat fatigue and cramps - This stage of hyperthermia causes:

• excessive sweating
• exhaustion
• flushed or red skin
• muscle cramps, spasm, and pain
• headache or mild light-headedness  nausea
Treatment
• Rest briefly and cool down
• Drink clear juice or an electrolyte-containing sports drink
• Practice gentle, range-of-motion stretching and gentle massage of the
affected muscle group
• Don't resume strenuous activity for several hours or longer after heat
cramps go away
• Call your doctor if your cramps don't go away within one hour or so

Heat exhaustion
Heat exhaustion, if left untreated, can lead to heat stroke, which is a
life-threatening condition.
Symptoms of heat exhaustion include:
 cold, pale, wet skin  temporarily fainting or losing
 fast but weak pulse consciousness
 headache  weakness
 exhaustion  intense thirst

dizziness  difficulty paying
extreme or heavy sweating attention

nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea  concentrating less frequent
 muscle cramps urination dark urine or
 and
Treatment
• Rest in a cool place
• Drink cool fluids
• Try cooling measures
• Loosen clothing

Heat stroke
Without treatment, heat stroke can lead to dangerous complications,
especially in young children, those whose immune system is compromised,
and people over 65 years of age.
Temperature and many of the other early signs of heat stroke are the
same as those for heat exhaustion.
• fast, strong pulse or • dizziness

7
 very weak pulse • confusion
• fast, deep breathing • disorientation  blurred vision
• reduced sweating • irritability or mood swings
• hot, red, wet, or dry skin • lack of coordination
• nausea • fainting or losing consciousness
• headache
Treatment
• Move the person into a cool place, out of direct sunlight.
• Remove the person's unnecessary clothing
• Cool the person's entire body by sponging or spraying cold water
• Apply ice packs in each armpit and on the back of the person's neck.
