Because of the concentrations of ATP and ADP in the cell, the conditions are very favorable for the use of the hydrolysis of ATP as an energy source. In fact, many processes with positive ÎG values can take place when coupled with the hydrolysis of ATP.
78-84 degrees: Race directors use their judgement to allow or not allow wetsuits at this range. Over 84 degrees: Wetsuits not allowed. The range of 50 to 78 degrees is therefore the ideal range for using a wetsuit. Any warmer, and the swimmer may actually overheat due to the wetsuitâs insulative qualities. Any colder, and the water is dangerously frigid for a swim.
places where the water temperature is 60 degrees Fahrenheit or colder, a wetsuit is a must and a drysuit is highly recommended. This is also the case if the combined air and water temperatures are below 120 degrees Fahrenheit. A second dangerous situation that can occur in cold water or cold weather is Hypothermia. Hypothermia occurs when exposure to the elements prohibits the body from reheating and maintaining its core temperature. Typical symptoms of hypothermia include: shivering,
