Research Abstract |
The guidelines for the prevention of heat disorders during sports activities were established 18 years ago in Japan. Since then, various studies on preventive measures against heat disorders have been performed, yielding new knowledge about its prevention. It has been reported that the incidence of heat disorders is high in children and the elderly, and heat acclimatization and clothing are the factors involved in this disorder. We proposed to lower the WBGT limit for warning (discontinuation of hard exercise) from 28℃ and over to 25℃ and over (corresponding to an ambient temperature of 28℃) for non-acclimatized persons, children, the elderly, and persons wearing clothes covering the entire body.
