Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Running in hot weather can cause the body to heat up, leading to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) in order to release heat and maintain proper body temperature. This can result in increased blood flow to the skin, causing flushing or redness, and potentially leading to dehydration or heat exhaustion. Atherosclerosis (build-up of plaque in the arteries), varicose veins (swollen and twisted veins), and vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) are not directly related to running in hot weather.
