Heat illness: Prevention, treatment, and recovery videos

Exertional heat illness occurs when your body overheats during exercise. As your condition gets worse, your body can lose its ability to regulate temperature and lead to heat stroke when your temperature is above 105°F (40.5°C). It’s also important to seek prompt medical attention if you experience extreme fatigue, dehydration, dizziness, or difficulty breathing during exercise.

You can find out about preventing and treating heat illness in CHAMP’s video series on exertional heat illness. Watch the videos below to learn more.
