"Effective" temperature is defined as:

	the temperature the body senses.
	the actual temperature of the air.
	the best temperature to exercise in.
	the relative humidity.

The result of evaporation is:

	cooling.
	warming.
	either cooling or warming, depending on the humidity.
	no change in temperature.

The best way to determine if environmental conditions are imposing a heat load on your body is to:

	take your temperature.
	measure your heart rate.
	measure your blood pressure.
	weigh yourself before and after exercise to measure water weight loss.

In order to minimize the possibility of overheating, exercise clothing should be all of the following EXCEPT:

	lightweight
	minimal
	cotton or linen
	dry

Heat acclimatization:

	increases the risk of heat injuries.
	decreases the risk of heat injuries.
	has little if any affect on heat injuries.
	needs more research before it should even be considered.

Symptoms of heat exhaustion are:

	profuse sweating, clammy skin.
	seizures.
	hot, red, dry skin.
	rapid, strong heart rate.

Heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke are similar in all the following ways EXCEPT:

	significant loss of water and electrolytes
	increased heat storage in the body
	very heavy sweating
	high inner core temperature of the body

When exercising in the heat, it is recommended that all the following be kept in mind EXCEPT:

	Keep the exercise session short.
	Drink plenty of water before, during and after the workout.
	Take a salt tablet after the workout.
	Monitor your heart rate.

How long does it take to acclimatize the body to heat?

	1-2 days
	10-12 days
	3-6 weeks
	6-8 months

Which of the following can be experienced during exercise at altitudes higher than 5000 feet above sea level?

	VO2max is increased.
	Heart rate is decreased.
	Exercise tolerance is increased.
	Breathing becomes deeper and faster.

A large decrease in body temperature is called:

	hyperthermia.
	hypothermia.
	hydrothermia.
	hydratethermia.

If you go on vacation in the mountains, which of the following precautions should be taken while exercising?

	Lower the intensity of your workout.
	Lower the duration of your workout.
	Exercise less often.
	Lower your expected target heart rate.

Which of the following are considered major pollutants that affect exercise performance?

	carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide
	ozone and carbon dioxide
	ozone and carbon monoxide
	all of the above

The worst time of day to exercise in areas prone to air pollution is:

	early in the morning.
	midday.
	after the dinner hour.
	after midnight.

It may take _____ hours to remove significant carbon monoxide from the blood.

	1 or less
	2-3
	4-5
	6 or more

When a person has heat exhaustion, how much water should he or she be given?

	1 cup with 1/2 teaspoon of salt every 15 minutes for 1 hour
	1 pint every 15 minutes (salt is not necessary)
	as much as possible
	none until the EMS arrive to give you guidance

Ozone is produced by:

	the burning of fossil fuels.
	a reaction between sunlight and automobile exhaust.
	the flatulence of cattle.
	chlorine gas.

Symptoms of dehydration are:

	thirst.
	apathy.
	dizziness.
	all of the above.

One of the biggest dangers of exercising in a cold environment is:

	damaging the lungs by breathing cold air.
	wearing layers of clothes and trapping the cold air between the layers.
	exercising in wet, sweaty clothing.
	reduced oxygen transport to exercising muscles.

Drinking water is important during which part of a workout?

	before beginning the workout
	during the workout
	after the workout
	all of the above

Athletes who train at high altitudes find that their training is jeopardized because:

	they find they cannot work out hard enough to get a training benefit.
	The terrain of the land is too difficult to train on.
	it is too cold at higher elevations.
	it takes too long to see results.

The theory of "living high" and "training low":

	has been proven to work for all athletes.
	needs more research.
	is ideal for all athletic teams that can afford the equipment.
	should be a goal for all athletes to pursue.

The primary means of heat loss during exercise in a hot environment is by:

	conduction.
	convection.
	condensation.
	evaporation.

Wearing a rubberized suit during exercise:

	is a great idea for weight loss.
	could cause heat stroke.
	will keep you cool because of the trapped moisture against the skin.
	will add weight to your clothing, thereby giving you a better workout.

Convective heat loss at wind speeds above ______ mph has little additional effect on the body's cooling system.

	10
	20
	30
	40
