How can an EMT team best execute first aid during an endurance challenge?
Answer #3 (Write in a complete sentence like a thesis statement)*
An EMT team can best execute first aid during an endurance challenge by identifying symptoms that the runners are trying to hide or are unaware of.
3 details to support the answer (a detail is a fact and an example)
Endurance runners tend to have a serious passion for running, causeing them to want to hide symptoms that may force them to quit the challenge. At one of the ultramarathons I worked at, a runner was showing signs of liver failure, but tried to hide the symptoms in order to continue running.
There are some injuries/ailments that the runners may be unaware of, such as dehydration or over hydration.
Most of the endurance runners have their own set way of keeping themselves healthy during the challenges, which makes it harder for the runners to know if they are doing something wrong, such as improper food and water intake.
The research source (s) to support your details and answer
"Dehydration" from the NY Times, "Health" from Faqs.org, and "Common Running Injuries" by WebMD.
