The main risk of outdoor exercise is hypothermia. We talk about hypothermia when body temperature plummets below 36 ° C. This may be caused by prolonged exposure to cold or because excessive exercise prevents the body from compensating for the temperature difference with the outside. We must be attentive to symptoms such as dizziness, lack of coordination or problems speaking to restore the body to a normal temperature before suffering worse consequences.
Hypothermia is the dangerous decrease in body temperature, below 36º. Hypothermia occurs when the body loses more heat than it can generate and is usually caused by prolonged exposure to cold. Among the people most likely to experience hypothermia are the elderly and the youngest, the chronically ill, the malnourished, the excessively tired and those under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
