With regard to sports participation, it is known that the following are risk factors and should either be avoided or the activity modified:

• Sleep deprivation or excessive fatigue

• Hypoglycemia associated with a poor diet (especially before activity)

• Hyponatremia (electrolyte loss) and hypernatremia (dehydration)

• Hypothermia (i.e., physical exhaustion and heat)

• Hypoxia associated with high altitudes

Sports participation should be avoided with high-contact sports. Solo participation or unsupervised participation in sports that involve speed or potential drowning should be performed in tandem or with supervision.46
