Heat-Related Illness in Athletes

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2007
Heat 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 ...

Looking ahead of 2021 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games: How Does Humid Heat Affect Endurance Performance? Insight into physiological mechanism and heat-related illness prevention strategies.

Journal of Thermal Biology, 2021
The combination of high humidity and ambient temperature of the 2021 Tokyo Summer Olympic Game will undoubtfully result in greater physiological strains and thereby downregulates the endurance performance of athletes.

Heat-Related Illnesses.

American family physician, 2020
Heat-related illnesses comprise a spectrum of syndromes resulting from disruption of thermoregulation in people exposed to high environmental heat. Symptoms range from heat edema and exercise-associated muscle cramps to exercise-associated collapse, heat exhaustion, and life-threatening heat stroke.

Heat-related illnesses

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.

Heat-related illnesses.

American family physician, 1998
Heat-related illnesses cause 240 deaths annually. Although common in athletes, heat-related illnesses also affect the elderly, persons with predisposing medical conditions and those taking a variety of medications. Symptoms range from mild weakness, dizziness and fatigue in cases of heat edema, to syncope, exhaustion and multisystem complications ...

Treatment of Heat-Related Illness

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1981
To the Editor.— The current heat wave in the sun-belt area has prompted the following comments on therapy for heat stroke. My interest in this subject stems from my service in the Iranian Dessert from 1942 to 1944. One of my tasks was supervision of our heat stroke centers.

Heat-Related Illnesses

2016
Regulation of body temperature involves thermosensors, the central nervous system (CNS) and thermoregulatory effectors. Heat exhaustion and heatstroke should be considered extremes of a spectrum of response to heat stress. Immediate cooling is the cornerstone of management of heatstroke.

Heat-related illness.

American family physician, 2011
Heat-related illness is a set of preventable conditions ranging from mild forms (e.g., heat exhaustion, heat cramps) to potentially fatal heat stroke. Hot and humid conditions challenge cardiovascular compensatory mechanisms. Once core temperature reaches 104°F (40°C), cellular damage occurs, initiating a cascade of events that may lead to organ ...
