What type of clothing is often advised to prevent overheating during sports activities?

Heavyweight clothing
Lightweight clothing
Darker clothing
Thick fabrics

The correct answer is: Lightweight clothing

Lightweight clothing is often advised to prevent overheating during sports activities because it allows for better breathability and moisture management. When engaging in physical exertion, the body generates heat, and lightweight fabrics, typically made from breathable materials, help wick away sweat and allow air circulation. This aids in cooling the body more efficiently compared to heavier fabrics, which can trap heat and moisture, leading to discomfort and increased risk of heat-related issues. In addition, lightweight clothing often features properties that enhance overall performance, such as providing flexibility and reducing resistance during movement. Choosing appropriate materials and designs that facilitate ventilation is vital for maintaining optimal body temperature while active.
