Heat And Heat-Related Illnesses
AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1981Certain groups of people can be identified as high-risk in relation to these illnesses. Athletes and military personnel who are undergoing rigorous training and conditioning in hot, humid weather are particularly vulnerable. From 1941 to 1944, 125 fatal cases of heat stroke were documented among United States Army recruits in basic training(4).

There is a growing incidence of heat-related illnesses due to rising global temperatures. Heat-related illnesses range from mild to severe, with heat stroke being the most critical. The wet bulb global temperature index considers humidity and solar intensity; its use is recommended to estimate heat stress on an individual and mitigate risk.

Heat-Related Illness in Athletes
The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2007Heat stroke in athletes is entirely preventable. Exertional heat illness is generally the result of increased heat production and impaired dissipation of heat. It should be treated aggressively to avoid life-threatening complications. The continuum of heat illness includes mild disease (heat edema, heat rash, heat cramps, heat syncope), heat ...

Postgraduate Medicine, 1989
During the hot, humid months of summer, heat-related illnesses are common. Many of these are minor and self-limited, but heatstroke is a true emergency because the body's cooling mechanisms have been overwhelmed. The condition must be recognized rapidly and treated immediately with fluid replacement and cooling.
