1. Tiger was able to practice in the heat and humidity because our bodies are made to adjust to the climate changes. 2. His body managed the heat by cooling him down (sweating). 3. Tiger prepared his body to manage the heat by drinking lots of water and eating protein and fiber. 4. He can recover quickly for practice tomorrow by resting, stretching, and drinking lots of fluids. He needs a good night sleep in order to be energized.
