maybe they had a previous injury or maybe they knew that they were hurt and just didn't want to say something about it. There could be many possible reasons, but the 3 main leading causes of sudden death in high school athletes are cardiac arrest, heat strokes, and concussions. Sudden cardiac arrest seems to be the number one out of all three causes of deaths in athletes. According to Nytimes, a high school student dies of cardiac arrest every three days in the united states. That's like 36 deaths

more muscular definition, Enables weight loss and keeps it off, Makes you limber, and Improves endurance. Heat Exhaustion comes from dehydration and can lead to the potentially fatal heat stroke. When you get too hot the body’s reaction is to sweat for temperature control. Not replenishing these lost fluids properly can lead to more extreme heat exhaustion or even heat stroke. Heat Stroke is where the body’s ability to cool itself by sweating is shut down. All temperature control is removed and

What is Hyperthermia? Hyperthermia is raised body temperature induced by failing of thermoregulatory systems of the body. Your body is constantly in process to keep a harmony between how much heat it makes and how much it disposes off. Increased heat causes sweating. When the sweat dries from your skin, it cools and your body temperature comes down. When body becomes dehydrated it can no longer cool itself by sweating. If you spend a lot of time in hot environment and take less liquids your body

four steps. The four steps is what allows heat to be transferred into usable mechanical energy. The 4 steps are also called “strokes” thus the phrase “four stroke engine.” The first stroke is called the intake or suction stroke. During this step, the intake valve opens allowing air and fuel mist to enter into the combustion chamber. The volume of the combustion chamber increases, thus pushing the piston down. The next stroke is called the compression stroke. In the previous step the piston was pushed

Your heart rate increases in order to pump more oxygenated blood around the body. Another factor is heat, because your body uses energy up, body temperature is increasing and overheating is prevented through sweating which cools your body down. When you sweat, you lose some water, this signal is received by the brain's thirst centre and so it makes you

Lisa Ms. Conroy E block 6/4/12 The Effects of Global Warming Global warming is when the Earth heats up. It happens when greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This hurts us, animals, and plants. Carbon dioxide is produced through respiration and photosynthesis, but when there is too much carbon dioxide, like when produced through the burning of fossil fuels; deforestation starts
