Abstract

From global warming, the temperature tends to rise continuously. While exercising in hot weather, body temperature is maintained normally through a mechanism called thermoregulation. If this thermo regulation is malfunction due to heat exposure and cooling failure. Which leads to dysfunctional thermo regulation. Symptoms range from mild to muscle cramps, heatstroke, heat exhaustion, and the most severe to life-threatening heat stroke. This article reviews pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, risk factors and treatment of exercise related heat illness. We focus on exertional heat stroke about rapid recognition and effective management, especially cooling methods in field, prehospital, emergency department to reduce complications or death. Furthermore, heat illness is preventable. Preventive strategies and planning of exercise are important.
