Awareness and Action for Heat Illness

Warm weather provides great opportunities to enjoy your favorite outdoor activities and sports. With proper hydration, nutrition and clothing, you can prevent the most prevalent warm weather ailment - Heat Illness.

 

Heat illness occurs when the body is exposed to hot temperatures for long periods of time without cooling down.  The result can be heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heat stroke or even death.  Enjoy your summer activities safely by reading our full HEAT ILLNESS article to learn more about prevention, symptoms and crucial immediate treatment steps of heat illness.

 

For hydration strategies, watch the video below by Dr. Douglas Casa  (PhD, ATC, FACSM, FNATA), leading expert on heatstroke, researcher and professor at the University of Connecticut and chief operating officer at the school's  Korey Stringer Institute.  The mission of the Korey Stringer Institute is to provide first-rate information, resources, assistance and advocacy for the prevention of sudden death in sport, especially as it relates to exertional heat stroke.  The institute is named after the Minnesota Vikings football player who died in August 2001 from complications brought on by heat stroke during a training camp practice.
