Abstract:
The 15th Dutch Eleven Cities ice skating marathon was run on Saturday 4th January 1997. Numerous measures were taken to reduce the risk of accidents: active or standby were 7 hospitals, 3 helicopters for transport of casualties, 60 first-aid stations along the route, 600 first-aiders, 120 Red Cross workers, 50 GPs, 10 diving teams and a large police presence. A total of 150 ambulance rides were made and 151 skaters with 179 injuries were treated in the hospitals. The number of treatments administered in the first-aid stations was 2393 (14.3% of the total number of participants), including 829 cases of frostbite/hypothermia. Of the 16,387 participants of 1997, 11,523 (70.3%) finished.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
