Exertional Heat Illness: Advanced Analysis of Intrinsic Risk Factors

Course overview

Research on exertional heat illness (EHI) has been increasing over the last decade, but a gap in how to translate results to prevention strategies and policies may exist. Research evaluating common predisposing factors will be reviewed to develop focused prevention strategies for EHI in active populations. Constructing the framework of prevention policies for EHI is provided throughout the course. Only inherent and underlying intrinsic risk factors will be covered in this course.
