    • Coaches and managers should be aware of the following:Games and sporting activities involving moderate to high intensity exercise should be scheduled to avoid conditions where ambient temperature exceeds or is likely to exceed 36 degrees Celsius.If games or activities are to be conducted after long periods of cooler conditions, participants should strive to be fully acclimatised prior to participation.The more athletes sweat, the more fluid they must consume to avoid dehydration.High levels of dehydration may increase the risk of heat stress. To diminish the risk of heat stress fluid should be consumed before, during and after activity.In conditions of high risk participants should be provided opportunities to rest through the use of player interchange or substitution.Light coloured, loose fitting clothes, of natural fibres or composite fabrics, with high wicking (absorption) properties that provide for adequate ventilation are recommended as the most appropriate clothing in the heat.It needs to be remembered that children have greater difficulty getting rid of heat than adults. Coaches of young children need to remember:When activities are conducted in hot conditiOns they must provide sufficient shade and regular drinking opportunities. This is particularly critical where the fitness and state of acclimatisation of the young participants is uncertain.
