Energy metabolism is controlled by many hormones including:
Use Chat GPT to generate an analogy for this:
Explain the relationship between cellular metabolism and the production of heat in the human body.
Include consideration of the meaning of efficiency with regard to energy liberation, ATP re-synthesis and heat production.
Limit it to 50 words and read it to make sure it makes (some) sense!
Where is the normal physiological range for core body temperature?
Look at the mark scheme in the hint and fill in your knowledge gap here.
Pace Yourself
Stay Cool Indoors
Get Plenty to Drink
Wear Light Clothing and Sunscreen
Schedule Outdoor Activities Carefully
Explain the impact of high humidity on performance during a 10-kilometre race.

That's prevention covered. Now let's imagine we are given a 3 point question on the treatment of a heat-related illness. Use the link below (the Ozzys know all about being too hot!) and give what you think would be 3 solid points in a sporting situation.
Coach Jamie has signed up for the Etape du tour bike race again in 2024. What an idiot!
Last year it was roasting hot and this year, for the first time ever, it's in the South of France. It could be even hotter!!
What advice do you have for him to prepare for this race?
Outline the principal means by which the body maintains core temperature in cold environments.

non-shivering thermogenesis occurs which is ... | arrow_right_alt | ... to areas not being used or outside the core |
(peripheral) vasoconstriction ... | arrow_right_alt | ... involuntary contractions of skeletal muscles |
reduction in ... | arrow_right_alt | ... an increase in heat production due to increasing cellular metabolic rates |
shivering which is ... | arrow_right_alt | ... sweat production |
Explain why the body surface area to body mass ratio is important for heat preservation.
Large body surface area to body mass ratio | Small body surface area to body mass ratio | More susceptable to hypothermia | Less susceptable to hypothermia | |

Wind chill is caused by the increase in the rate of heat loss via which processes?
Look back to question 10. What do you think might be the physiological responses to cold exposure?
