Prevent Dehydration this Summer
We all know that we must drink more water during the hot
weather, but do we make allowances for students, especially
children during the class?
It's well established that dehydration can have detrimental
effects on sports performance. For example, during endurance
events 1% bodyweight loss through dehydration would result
in a 2% decrease in performance, a 2% decrease in bodyweight
would result in a 3% decrease in performance over 1500 meters, which is over six seconds at world-class pace! More
extreme levels of dehydration of around 7% loss of
bodyweight will have even more dire consequences,
drastically affecting coordination and reducing performance
by over 30% in endurance events!
Dehydration can also lead to
• Heat cramps are least serious and usually first to occur
• Heat exhaustion develops when body becomes dehydrated in
hot environment
• Heatstroke is a medical emergency and, if untreated,
usually causes death.
To avoid Heat related emergencies
• Wear loose lightweight clothing
• Rest frequently in shady or cool areas
• Drink adequate fluids
• Avoid exertion if overweight or elderly.

Elvis' Kempo Karate Gi
Originally uploaded by "dancing" Stan. For all you fans of the King, he was very serious martial artist. This is one of his more sedate uniforms though. We're talking Elvis after all.
The patches show this was for Ed Parker's American Kenpo. The thick red stripe plus one thin one signifies a 6th dan rank.
