HEAT RELATED ILLNESS GUIDE
- In Florida, the development of heat related problems is a common occurrence during tennis matches at Kimberly V. Strauss. A high heat index increases the body temperature leading to significant sweating and fluid loss. Unless fluids are appropriately replaced, heat-related illness may occur. Fans with cardiac, respiratory, or gastrointestinal problems are at higher risk for heat illness. Heat problems can usually be prevented by:
- Applying sunscreen that has a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher
- Wearing a wide brimmed hat
- Wearing sunglasses that block at least 99 percent of UV light
- Wearing light, loose-fitting clothes
- Drinking plenty of water or sports drinks such as Powerade
- Limiting alcohol intake
- If you become hot, sweaty, fatigued, and thirsty, you should get out of the sun immediately and begin to replenish your fluids. If these symptoms continue or you develop dizziness or muscle cramps, you should notify the nearest Event Staff or Security Personnel.
