Working or playing sports outside in hot weather can lead to heat-related injuries. Whether being deployed, assigned to a training center or doing recreational sports outdoors, soldiers are faced with a heat threat. Mild symptoms can usually be taken care of with self-care measures but more severe symptoms need medical treatment. Types and symptoms of heat-related injuries are: Dehydration - dizziness, weakness and fatigue, rapid pulse

Wright State University School of Medicine, Dayton, Ohio A patient information handout on preventing heat illness, written by the authors of this article , is provided on page 759. A lthough heat-related illnesses are treatable and preventable, at least 240 persons die of heat-related illnesses in the United States each year. In 1980, 1,700 persons died during a prolonged heat wave. Heat stroke is ranked third behind head and neck trauma and cardiac disorders as a cause of death among U.S. high school athletes. In 1995, five high school students died of heat-related illnesses. The mortality from heat-related illness is probably under-reported because deaths related to cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and respiratory disorders occur during heat waves. Etiology, Risk Factors and Pathophysiology Most heat-related problems result from environmental conditions and can be predicted and prevented. Heat-related illnesses are more common in the summer but can also occur in moderate conditions, depending on environmental factors. Heat production is affected by multiple environmental factors including temperature, humidity, sun exposure, wind and clothing. The body's thermoregulatory system is responsible for allowing the body to heat and cool itself as necessary. This system can be overwhelmed during periods of heat stress if the sum of the environmental heat load and the metabolic heat load exceeds the body's capacity for heat dissipation.

Children adjust more slowly than adults do to changes in environmental heat. They also produce more heat with activity than adults, and sweat less. Sweating is one of the body's normal cooling mechanisms. Children often do not think to rest when having fun and may not drink enough fluids when playing, exercising, or participating in sports. Children with chronic health problems, or those who take certain medicines, may be more susceptible to heat-related illnesses. Children who are overweight or wear heavy clothing during exertion, such as marching band or football uniforms, are also more susceptible.

Protecting children from heat stroke By Dr. Joan Shook As the weather heats up, it's more important for kids and adolescents to stay cool while playing outdoors. Seldom does a child complain about the heat, like an adult does. But it's important to know that children are more susceptible to heat stress than adults because they absorb more heat on a hot day. There are three types of heat-related injuries: heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat cramps are the mildest of these injuries. Heat cramps are characterized by severe muscle pain and spasms. While heat cramps are seldom serious, they should not be taken lightly. Heat cramps are an early warning sign that the body is having difficulty adjusting to the heat. Heat exhaustion is a more serious form of heat stress. It occurs as a result of body fluids being lost through heavy sweating during exercise or other strenuous activity. Signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion are extreme sweating, dry mouth, fatigue and weakness, headache, nausea and dizziness. Heat stroke is the most severe of the three types of heat-related injuries and is considered a medical emergency. Signs that a child has experienced heat stroke include a very high temperature (104 degrees or higher); hot, dry, red skin; no sweating; confusion, deep breathing and possibly a loss of consciousness.

The first few days of practice each football season is the time when players are least likely to be prepared for the heat and least likely to be in good physical condition. As a result, they are not acclimatized to their situation. "Getting acclimated is the critical risk factor" for heat-related injuries, Horswill said.

Spring is here and summer is just around the corner! If your weekend plans include outdoor activities like biking, roller-blading, walking, or yard work, it's important to be sure that you are keeping yourself safe from the heat and sun. Here are some quick tips and useful websites that will help you do just that! IT'S HIP TO HYDRATE Not only is sipping a water bottle the "in" thing to do, it is key in preventing heat-related injuries like heat exhaustion, heat stroke, heat cramps, and dehydration. It's extremely important to drink plenty of fluids - whether you choose water or sports drinks is up to you - a combination of both is often best. In order to keep popery hydrated, you should drink fluids before, during, and after exercise. During exercise, aim for six to eight ounces of fluid for every 15 to 20 minutes of exercise. TIMING IS EVERYTHING On hot days, you should be exercising before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. - the hours in between are when the sun is the strongest and the temperatures are the highest. If you must exercise during these hours, remember to try and stay in shaded areas and walk, bike, or jog on grass or dirt paths rather than on the hot pavement.

With the heat index expected to reach at or above 100 degrees today and Tuesday, the risk for heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke is very high. The elderly and the very young are most at risk, but anyone who is over-exposed to the severe heat runs the risk of a heat-related injury. The threat to the elderly and those three years old and younger is due to the fact they do not sweat efficiently. Those who are overweight, on certain medications and those who are chronically ill also face higher risks from the extreme heat. Symptoms of heat stress include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, headaches, weakness, cramps, changes in mental health, hot and dry skin and heavy sweating.

Who can get them? ... When should I call the doctor? What are heat-related health problems? Heat-related health problems happen when your body temperature gets too high. There are five types: Sunburn Heat rash Heat cramps Heat exhaustion Heat stroke What causes them? Sunburn When you are in the sun for too long, your skin can burn. This is called a sunburn. Heat Rash Too much sweating causes a heat rash. The sweat irritates your skin and causes small, red bumps to form. It usually happens on the neck and chest, in the groin, under the breasts, and at the elbow joint. Heat Cramps People who sweat a lot during exercise can get heat cramps. Sweat is made of your body's salt and water. When you sweat a lot, your body loses too much salt. The low salt level causes muscles to tighten and cramp, which can be painful. They usually happen in your arm and leg muscles.

The Heat Is On - Outdoor Activity Could Be Harmful COLLEGE STATION - Scorching temperatures are a hot topic in Texas - especially when the heat can be a killer. Thousands of football players will be returning to high schools and colleges around the state in the next few days, and with daytime workouts come the risk of heat problems ranging from minor cramps to death. Nationwide, 20 football players have died from heat-related injuries since 1995, including 3 last year, among them Minnesota Vikings tackle Korey Stringer. But anyone can be affected: An average of 318 Americans die each year from heat-related illnesses, many of them elderly citizens, according to the American Medical Athletic Association. Make no mistake, say athletic trainers and fitness experts: when dealing with heat, take precautions ASAP to avoid being DOA. "Football players who are out in the heat for hours at a time are especially susceptible to heat-related injuries. But it doesn't take long for anyone to have heat problems - as little as 15 or 20 minutes could be dangerous." Kniffin says there are three types of heat stress: heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
