Heat Safety in Professional Sport: Aligning Data, Physiology, and Policy

This CA outlines a presentation on exertional heat illness in football, emphasizing how preventable deaths cluster under identifiable environmental conditions. It connects case studies, national data, and documented care and training failures to highlight gaps in heat policy implementation. The talk ultimately argues that real-time environmental monitoring, especially WBGT-based guidelines, can improve safety, inform practice decisions, and reduce heat-related illness and death while supporting performance.
