Overheat during basketball?!
Question:
Overheat during basketball?
hey guys. so i have a basketball game tomorrow at 7, but here in new york its supposed to be 90 degrees. that means overheating for me.
when i get overheated, my fave turns beet red and i feel shortness of breath. sometimes when i drink too much, i feel slightly queasy. but not really. i went to the doctor about 2 years ago and was diagnosed with a very light case of excersise-indused asthma. i went back 2 months ago and it got progressively better. so im happy for that. before a game, i drink tons of water, but i still become hot. sometimes i think its psychological in a way. like im worried i will overheat and then i do. but im not senile or anything. lol. i just get worried.
but how is a way i can keep cool on the basketball court? oh, by the way, its outside=( sorry if there are any misspellings, the spell check isnt working.
Answers:
keep a wet compress handy for when you start overheating. watch the fluid intake. too much beforehand will cramp you up as will chugging too much while you're playing. grab a gulp periodically while you're playing and put the wet towel on the back of your neck if you take a break.
