Grant Activity:
An Evidence-Based Extreme Heat Policy for Child and Youth Sport
Purpose:

More than two-thirds of Australian children play organised sport. Yet exercising in hot weather can lead to overheating and other serious health problems. Doctors warn that children may be at more risk of heat illness, but most sport heat policies treat children and adults the same. Our study will develop a new Australian heat policy by identifying for the first time the temperature and humidity at which different sports should be cancelled for boys and girls of different age groups.
