* Prevention• Be aware of temperature and humidity
levels• If coaching, always check wet bulb on your
field for the relative humidity• Don’t just trust the local weather report

* Prevention• Do not assume that the temperature and relative humidity in any indoor facility or gym
you are exercising in will be adequate for intense exercise
• Drink a lot of water! Being properly hydrated
decreases the risk for exertional heat illness

Physical exertion and training activities should begin slowly and continue progressively. A person cannot be "conditioned" in a period of only 2 to 3 weeks.

Fundamental #2
Keep each participant's individual level of conditioning and medical status in mind and adjust activity accordingly. These factors directly affect exertional heat illness risk.

Fundamental #3
With an increase in heat/humidity, especially if the heat and humidity level is a significant change from the previous few days:• Decrease intensity of activity• Increase frequency/duration of
rest breaks• Reduce uniform/equipment• Continue to closely monitor
players in these changing conditionsBack

Fundamental #5
Recognize early signs of distress and developing exertional heat illness, and promptly stop activity for affected players and treat accordingly. Do not delay first aid!

Fundamental #6
Recognize more serious signs of exertional heat-related distress. Immediately stop activity and seek medical attention by activating the Emergency Medical System. Begin on-site rapid cooling immediately.
