Coaches and parents should be aware of the signs and symptoms of heat stroke, dehydration and other problems, and fluid replacement formulas should be used during practices and workouts, among other precautions, the LA Times said. *This blog post was originally published at ACP Internist* (Source: Better Health) Better Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3915004 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 15:00:00 +0100 3915004 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3885303&cid=t_248140_87_f&fid=34872&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Ffeel%2F196047%2F August Alert: High temperatures in August can lead to heat-related illnesses for athletes.

To beat past records, the average temperature for the rest of the month will have to be 79 degrees, which it’s just barely set to do. Multiple heat waves and days spent sweating next to our fans, we believe it, and we’re reviewing tips for staying cool and working out safely in the summer heat.

The Mid-Atlantic, too. And parts of the South. It was 103 degrees in New York City yesterday. So we’re allowed to complain about it a little bit. And then we’re going for ice cream.

These include tennis players and even wrestlers. We also can’t forget about the other students who spend time outside, such as those in the marching band. This is physically strenuous and out in the heat as well. The only way to ensure the health and safety of fall athletes is through education of the coaches, the parents, and the athletes themselves. While the athletes may feel they’re invincible and the coaches want to see their athletes work, there has to be a balance, which keeps the kids from developing heat-related illnesses. What is a...

There comes a time when the body will be unable to maintain normal temperature when exposed to excessive heat. We have normal mechanisms that prevent this from happening. We become very thirsty and we start to sweat to help bring our core temperature down.

Today I found an article from a blog in Iowa that does a great job of describing how heat temperatures (including humidity) are calculated and why it feels hotter sometimes than others, even if the temperature is the same: Heat Index - Why It Feels So Hot. Knowing how and why something works often makes it easier for us to help ourselves, because then we understand why certain things work better than others. ~~~ Image: Courtesy PhotoXpress.com Share and Enjoy: Post from: Blisstree Follow Up On Heat Wave Information (Source: A Hearty Life) A Hearty Life blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2511284 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 11:35:49 +0100 2511284
