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…

Heat-related illness in sports and exercise
- EducationCurrent Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine
- 2014
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.
Exertional Heat Illness: Emerging Concepts and Advances in Prehospital Care
- MedicinePrehospital and Disaster Medicine

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.

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.
Current concepts in the management of exertional heat stroke in athletes
- Medicine
- 2015
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.
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…
Current paradigms in the prehospital care of exertional heat illness: A review

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.
The Potential Role of Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage in Exertional Heat Stroke
- MedicineSports Medicine
- 2021
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.
Use of the heat tolerance test to assess recovery from exertional heat stroke

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.

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.

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.
