c. As core body heat increases, blood flow to the skin increases to promote heat loss and reduce body temperature.
d. Warming up before an event allows the body to heat up at a slower rate and decreases the chance of hyperthermia.
e. As core body temperature increases, blood glycogen is broken down faster, sweat rate increases, and the risk of dehydration is greater.
f. Hyperthermia occurs when core body temperature increases past a normal, healthy level.
g. Hyperthermia only occurs in cold environments.
