Question: Tiger Ensworth Just completed a three-hour football practice outside, in the sun, humidity, and 100 degree heat. How? How did his body manage that? Well, the body does have certain procedures that it does to maintain a constant temperature. I'm sure that Tiger Ensworth was sweating a lot during practice, which helps to cool off the body. Tiger also could have made it easier on his body by wearing light colored clothing and taking breaks, preferably in the shade. Tiger's body also managed to keep his temperature down by circulating blood and Tiger should make sure to breathe a lot to allow oxygen to get to all his muscles. Tiger should not uninate while out in the heat so that his body can retain water.

How did he prepare his body to manage that? Well, the body does have certain procedures that it does to maintain a constant temperature. I'm sure that Tiger Ensworth was sweating a lot during practice, which helps to cool off the body. I would have to say tiger prepared his body by drinking TONS of fluid (especially water) before practice. Drinking water keeps the body from being dehydrated. Signs of dehydration can range from decreased performance to even fainting. Tiger also probably ate a lot of carbs and protein to give him the energy to make it through practice. Also tiger should have prepared by eating a lot of salty foods.

How can he recover quickly and be ready for practice tomorrow? Tiger Ensworth can recover quickly by eating a lot of food to gain back energy, continue to drink lots of fluids, and most importantly get a lot of sleep!
