PREVENTING
HEAT
ILLNESS
With the beginning of the fall practice season, everyone should be
aware that exercise produces heat within the body and can increase the player's
body temperature. Add to this a hot or humid day, and any barriers to heat loss
such as padding and equipment and the temperature of the individual can become
dangerously high. There are several steps which can be taken to prevent heat
illness from occurring:
ADEQUATE HYDRATION
· The athlete
should arrive at practice well-hydrated to reduce the risk of
dehydration.
· Water or sports drinks should be readily available to athletes
during practice and should ideally be served chilled in containers that allow
adequate volumes of fluid to be ingested.
· Athletes should be instructed to
continue fluid replacement in between practice sessions.
GRADUAL
ACCLIMATIZATION
· Intensity and duration of exercise should be
gradually increased over a period of 7-14 days to give athletes time to build
fitness levels and become accustomed to practicing in the heat.
· Protective
equipment should be introduced in phases (start with helmet, progress to helmet
and shoulder pads, and finally full uniform).
RECORD KEEPING
· Athletes should weigh-in
before and after practice, ideally in dry undergarments to check hydration
status.
· The amount of fluid lost should be replaced by the next session of
activity.
· The color of the urine can provide a quick guess at how hydrated
the athlete is. If the urine is dark, like apple juice, this means the athlete
is dehydrated. If the urine is light, like lemonade, this means the athlete
seems adequately hydrated.
ADDITIONAL PREVENTION
MEASURES
· The use of lightweight synthetic clothing which aids heat
loss.
· Athletes should wear light colored clothing.
· Well-balanced diet
which aids in replacing lost electrolytes.
· Avoid drinks containing
stimulants such as ephedrine or high doses of caffeine.
· Alteration of
practice plans in extreme environmental conditions.
· Adequate rest breaks in
the shade.
· Allow athletes to remove unnecessary equipment during rest
breaks.
· Adjust the amount of conditioning activities in hot
weather.
· Athletes with febrile or gastrointestinal illnesses should not be
allowed to participate until recovered.
