Strain/Sprain: A strain is when a muscle has been pulled to its limit, while a sprain is a muscle twisted or turned excessively.
Heat Exhaustion: Exactly how it sounds like; exhaustion from heat. Basically, it's a heat illness that you may obtain after being in intense heat for a long time.

A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon from overstretching, while a sprain is an injury to a ligament caused by twisting or turning forces. Heat exhaustion occurs from prolonged exposure to high temperatures and can lead to severe heat-related illnesses if not treated. Awareness and appropriate care can help manage these conditions effectively.
