SUMMARY Exertional heat illness can affect athletes during high-intensity or longduration exercise and result in withdrawal from activity or collapse during or soon after activity. These maladies include exercise associated muscle cramping, heat exhaustion, or exertional heatstroke. While certain individuals are more prone to collapse from exhaustion in the heat (i.e., not acclimatized, using certain medications, dehydrated, or recently ill), exertional heatstroke (EHS) can affect seemingly… Expand

Heat-related illness in sports and exercise
  • A. Nichols
  • Medicine
  • Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine
  • 2014
TLDR
Cases are preventable by following heat acclimatization guidelines, modifying sports and exercise sessions during conditions of high environmental heat stress, maintaining adequate hydration, avoiding exertion in the heat when ill, and by educating sports medicine personnel, coaches, parents, and athletes on the early recognition and prevention of EHRI. Expand
Exertional Heat Illness: Emerging Concepts and Advances in Prehospital Care
TLDR
With rapid recognition and implementation of effective cooling, most patients suffering from exertional heat stroke will recover quickly and can be discharged home with instructions to rest and to avoid heat stress and exercise for a minimum of 48 hours; although, further research pertaining to return to activity is warranted. Expand
Heat-Related Illness
Triathletes, like all athletes engaged in sustained physical activity, generate body heat through well-described energy processes. And when these phenomena are compounded by environmental factors… Expand
Exertional heat illness in a Marine training on the endurance course.
  • S. Rohe
  • Medicine
  • JAAPA : official journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants
  • 2012
TLDR
Clinical observations indicate that prognosis is closely linked to the amount of time a patient's temperature remains elevated, and prevention strategies are essential to reducing the incidence of exertional heatstroke, heat exhaustion, and exercise-associated muscle cramping. Expand
Current concepts in the management of exertional heat stroke in athletes
TLDR
Every individual involved in the care of athletes, particularly those participating in hot and humid environments, must be aware of signs and symptoms of exertional heat stroke and understand the importance of prompt treatment to prevent catastrophic outcomes. Expand
Exertional Heat Stroke in Athletes
Abstract Exercising in hot and especially humid environment can cause rise in body core temperature to such a critical level that it does not only reduce performance, but also may ultimately lead to… Expand
Current paradigms in the prehospital care of exertional heat illness: A review
TLDR
Current recommendations are discussed regarding prehospital and first responder care of exertional heat illness, particularly heat stroke, with an emphasis on rapid recognition, assessment, and implementation of cooling and advanced care strategies. Expand
Heat and Hydration Curriculum Issues: Part 2 of 4—Exercising in the Heat
TLDR
Although many methods exist to cool the body, cold water immersion provides the most rapid cooling for an athlete suffering from EHS, and the NATA and the American College of Sports Medicine recommend its use when treating EHS. Expand
The Potential Role of Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage in Exertional Heat Stroke
TLDR
A possible mechanism of how performing muscle-damaging exercise in the heat may aggravate muscle damage and subsequent risk of EHS and acute kidney injury (AKI) is proposed to minimize the risks of E HS and AKI for individuals with muscle damage due to engaging in physical work in hot environments. Expand
Use of the heat tolerance test to assess recovery from exertional heat stroke
TLDR
An overview of the HTT and the controversy of this test is provided with respect to assessment criteria, applicability to tasks involving high metabolic workloads, and the lack of follow-up analyses to determine its accuracy for determining recovery in order to diminish the likelihood of a second EHS occurrence.

Fluid and electrolyte disturbances in heat illness.
  • T. Noakes
  • Medicine
  • International journal of sports medicine
  • 1998
TLDR
It is shown that exercise-induced heat stroke requires powerful initiating factors, in addition to dehydration which occurs commonly during prolonged exercise, whereas heat stroke is an extremely rare event. Expand
Heat illness
TLDR
The epidemiology, pathophysiology and relevant aspects of management including prevention, acclimatisation and treatment of exertional heat illness, the predominant form affecting military personnel, are reviewed. Expand
Heat-related illnesses.
TLDR
Preventive care should include drinking plenty of fluids before, during and after activities, gradually increasing the time spent working in the heat and avoiding exertion during the hottest part of the day. Expand
The Induction and Decay of Heat Acclimatisation in Trained Athletes
TLDR
In attempting to optimise heat acclimatisation, athletes should maintain fluid-electrolyte balance, exercise at intensities greater than 50% V̇O2max for 10 to 14 days, and avoid factors which are known to reduce heat tolerance. Expand
Heat intolerance: predisposing factor or residual injury?
  • Y. Epstein
  • Medicine
  • Medicine and science in sports and exercise
  • 1990
TLDR
Cases of dehydration, overweight, low physical fitness, lack of acclimatization, febrile or infectious diseases, and skin disorders should be regarded a priori as predisposing factors for heat intolerance. Expand
The role of exercise in the etiology of exertional heatstroke.
  • R. Hubbard
  • Medicine
  • Medicine and science in sports and exercise
  • 1990
TLDR
The purposes of this symposium are to convey essential information to the members of ACSM who are involved in exercise prescription, patient care, or athletic training, and to disseminate recent scientific theories and research concerning exertional heatstroke. Expand
Cerebral Changes During Exercise in the Heat
TLDR
The observation that exercise-induced hyperthermia reduces the central activation percentage during maximal isometricmuscle contractions supports the idea that central fatigue is involved in the aetiology ofhyperthermia-induced fatigue. Expand
Exertional heat illness in Marine Corps recruit training.
TLDR
Risk for EHI in military training increases markedly as WBGT levels rise above 65 degrees F; cases occur primarily with strenuous exercise (e.g., running); and heat stress exposure on prior days may be important. Expand
Exercise-Associated Collapse in Endurance Events: A Classification System.
  • W. Roberts
  • Medicine
  • The Physician and sportsmedicine
  • 1989
TLDR
A classification system was devised for EAC that can be used by physicians who cover endurance events and three classes of EAC are hyperthermic, normothermic, and hypothermic; each class is subclassified as mild, moderate, or severe. Expand
Time course of recovery and heat acclimation ability of prior exertional heatstroke patients.
TLDR
It was concluded that sleep loss and generalized fatigue were the most common predisposing factors for PH and recovery from EH was idiosyncratic and may require up to 1 year in severe cases. Expand
