More States Adopt Heat Management, Acclimatization Policies

Snow may still be on the ground in some parts of the country, but at least two northern states have adopted heat-management policies for high school student-athletes during the past week.

Heat and humidity management is the latest step in the Michigan High School Athletic Association's ongoing focus on health and safety issues, and the association's new model policy - while not setting requirements for member schools - proposes actions based on the heat index and is designed to minimize the risk of heat-related illness during practice and competition. The policy states that temperature and humidity readings should be taken 30 minutes prior to the start of activity and again 60 minutes after it has begun. Additionally, recommendations for hydration and levels of activity are suggested for each of four levels of heat index readings.
