内容説明

Explaining how to identify, treat and prevent heat illnesses and over exertion, this book aims to ensure sporting events are safe. It provides practitioners with all the information they should need in one practical reference.

Full of practical advice for professionals in a variety of medical, academic and commercial settings, it includes treatment options for all exertional heat illnesses and the causes of heat-related illnesses and ways to prevent them. Instructors and students interested in environmental exercise physiology will also find this book to be a valuable tool for courses that require advanced study.
