What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

18.2K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Body Temperature01:25

Body Temperature

862
The body's temperature, measured in degrees, is determined by the balance between heat production and dissipation to the surrounding environment. For instance, if exercising vigorously, the body will produce more heat, causing sweat and dissipating that heat. Despite extreme environmental conditions and physical exertion, the human temperature-control system maintains a constant core body temperature (the temperature of deep tissues, which are the tissues located beneath the skin and other...

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

601
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Radiation: Applications01:17

Radiation: Applications

1.1K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.

Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

24
Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Summary

Most cyclists do not consistently use sun protection, particularly men and those with higher skin phototypes. Encouraging sun protection use in this growing global population is crucial for health promotion.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Dermatology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Global cycling participation is rising.
  • Limited research exists on sun protection habits among cyclists.
  • Sun exposure poses risks to cyclists' skin health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate sun protection usage among cyclists.
  • To identify factors associated with lower sun protection use.
  • To inform health promotion strategies for cyclists.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional online survey design.
  • Self-administered questionnaire on demographics, cycling practices, and sun protection.
  • Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • 379 cyclists participated; 69.7% were men.
  • 67.3% used sunscreen, with lower rates in men (58%) and higher phototypes (69.2%).
  • Long-sleeved shirts (49.3%) and sunglasses (75.5%) were used; 35% of non-users cycled >7h/week.

Conclusions:

  • Cyclists, especially men and those with higher phototypes, need encouragement for sun protection.
  • Integrating sun protection messaging with cycling technology use can optimize uptake.
  • Targeted interventions are needed to improve sun safety in the cycling community.
