SOLUTIONS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔what are the major minerals? how much is needed daily? - ✔✔calcium, phosphorus,
potassium, sodium, chloride, magnesium
- 100 mg or more
✔✔What are the trace minerals? - ✔✔iron, zinc, iodine, copper, manganese, fluoride,
chromium, molybdenum
- need less than 20mg daily
✔✔what is anemia? - ✔✔iron deficiency
✔✔why is water essential? - ✔✔used for digestion, temp control, eliminating waste
products, preventing dehydration
✔✔dehydration? hyperhydration? - ✔✔- not enough water
- too much water (hyponatremia; blood is too diluted and sodium decreases making it
hard for muscles to contract like the heart)
✔✔How much of body weight is water? - ✔✔60%
✔✔what are three areas fluid is lost through when athlete trains? - ✔✔sweat, skin, and
through lungs while breathing
✔✔what is decreased in a dehydrated athlete - ✔✔decreased volume of blood
circulating body
✔✔what happens due to a decreased volume of blood? (4) - ✔✔- amount of blood
pumped w each beat decreases
- exercising muscles don't receive enough O2
- byproduct of exercise not flushed out of body propr
- exhaustion sets in , lack performance
✔✔when does water loss start to affect performance? - ✔✔losing as little as 2% of body
weight
✔✔how much water should be consumed for each pound of body weight lost? how can
this be determined? - ✔✔1/2 L
- weigh athlete before/after exercise
✔✔what are early symptoms of dehydration? - ✔✔- thirst, tirednes, headache, loss of
appetite, dry mouth, dark urine, muscle cramps
, ✔✔late symptoms? - ✔✔nausea, hot to touch, dizziness, lack of coordination, confused,
fainting
✔✔when can death occur? - ✔✔losing more than 10-20% water of body weight
✔✔what is the benefit of ingesting sodium during exercise? - ✔✔may help w
maintaining/restoring plasma volume during exercise/recovery
✔✔what is good about consuming sports drinks w sodium? - ✔✔retains water in body
and aids in hydration by increasing absorption of fluid from intestines into muscles
✔✔what can happen with too much sugar? - ✔✔slow absorption of water
✔✔what is cramping? - ✔✔excessive sweating w sodium/mineral loss, muscle twitching
✔✔What is heat exhaustion? - ✔✔prolonged period of fluid loss via activity in high temp
✔✔what is heat stroke - ✔✔failure of thermoregulatory system
- sudden collapse, hot skin, rapid pulse
- core temp 106 degrees C or higher
✔✔how can you prevent exertional heat disorders - ✔✔fluid/electrolyte replacement,
monitor temp, weight records
✔✔what is the main phrase of emergency care? - ✔✔primum non nocere
- first do no harm
✔✔What do the ABCD of emergency care stand for? - ✔✔airway, breathing (rate,
effective), circulation (bleeding, HR, pulse), disability (sensation, pupils, movement)
✔✔what are 5 general points of emergency care - ✔✔- keep head/neck stable
- keep warm
- nothing by mount (nil per os N.P.O)
- get help
repeat ABCD's - records status
✔✔what is the most common cause of asphyxiation - ✔✔obstruction of oropharynx by
tongue
✔✔what is shock - ✔✔state of insufficient blood flow to tissues of body due to
circulatory sys. problems
✔✔what are the 6 forms of shock? - ✔✔- neurogenic (dilation of blood vessels)
- psychogenic (dilation of vessels to brain)
