Heatstroke Prevention Measures
-
Make sure to bring a hat and/or parasol, and take advantage of portable fans and other cooling products.
-
Wear clothes that are breathable, moisture wicking, and quick drying.
-
Even if you do not feel thirsty, be sure to drink plenty of water and keep up your electrolytes with sports drinks, etc.
-
Make good use of shade and take frequent breaks. In addition to Team Lounges, break tents will also be available on site.
Trainers with Young Children
-
Trainers who have young children with them should pay particularly close attention to their well-being.
-
A child’s ability to regulate their own body temperature is not fully developed. This makes them more susceptible to heat stroke than adults. Please take extra care to keep them cool.
-
Keep an eye out for symptoms or unusual changes in their behavior. If you notice flushed skin or excessive sweating, please head to a cool area and rest for a while.
-
Beware of reflected heat. If the air temperature is 32℃ (90°F) at head-level for an adult, it will be 35℃ (95°F) for a child. Children in strollers will experience similar effects based on how far off the ground they are.
-
Choose appropriate clothing. Wear cool clothing that can be removed as needed.
-
Make sure they stay hydrated.
