I hope you’re all doing great!

Aug. 8, 2011 — As aspiring football and soccer stars hit the fields for preseason training, there’s new advice on how to keep young athletes safe when exercising in the heat.
New guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) show that heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and other heat-related illnesses are preventable in young athletes much in the same way they are in adults.
Previous research had suggested that children are less effective than adults at regulating body temperature and are at higher risk of heat-related illness. B
