Question

question 7
question 7/10
why is building up to full uniform/padding a good idea in preventing heat illness during practices?
○ students can run faster when not weighed down by gear.
○ students need to get acclimatized to heat and exercise intensity before wearing heavy gear.
○ students need to build up their muscles before wearing full gear.
○ removing gear makes it harder to cool a student down when overheated.

Explanation:

To prevent heat illness, acclimatization to heat and exercise intensity is key. Building up to full uniform/padding allows students to gradually adapt to heat while exercising, as heavy gear can increase heat stress. The other options are incorrect: running speed isn't the focus, muscle building isn't related to heat illness prevention, and removing gear actually helps cooling (so the last option's logic is wrong).

Answer:

B. Students need to get acclimatized to heat and exercise intensity before wearing heavy gear.
