Abstract des Autors

The guidelines that have been published to prevent from collapsing with heat injury have been based on laboratory studies with different conditions from those experienced in actual road races. A new portable heat stress monitor was used to test whether high levels of solar radiation raised rectal temperature more than no-sun conditions. The authors propose guidelines using color codes to alert runners to the degree of danger during races. They say that below 18 C (64 F) there is a low risk of heat injury, and races should not be started at temperatures above 28 C (82 F). Verf.-Referat
