2. Playing rigorous sports in the heat can lead to several types of heat injuries. The first type of heat related illness is dehydration which is a lack of body fluids. The second type is heat exhaustion. Heat exhaustion has numerous effects, including nausea, dizziness, weakness, headache, pale and moist skill, heavy perspiration, normal or low body temperature, weak pulse, dilated pupils, disorientation and fainting spells. A third type of heat injury is heat stroke. Heat stroke can lead to headaches, dizziness, confusion and hot dry skin, possibly leading to vascular collapse, coma, and death. Each of these heat injuries can be prevented. Taken from Henry’s text: The Effective Reader (p. 109)
