Abstract des Autors
The purpose of this position statement is to (1) alert sponsors of distance running events to potentially serious health hazards during distance running - especially thermal injury, (2) advise sponsors to consult local weather history and plan events at times when the environmental heat stress would most likely be acceptable, (3) encourage sponsors to identify the environmental heat stress existing on the day of a race and communicate this to the participants, (4) educate participants regarding thermal injury susceptibility and prevention, and (5) inform sponsors of preventive actions that may reduce the frequency and severity of this type of injury.
