Overview
Offers clinicians, scientists and students a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiology and clinical management of exertional heat illness as well as population-specific considerations in the management of exertional heat illness.
Each chapter has a dedicated section highlighting areas and directions of future research that will further improve the prevention, management and care of exertional heat illness.
The directed approach of this text is applicable to both clinicians and scientists and will hopefully stimulate future interdisciplinary collaborative research to address the known gaps in scientific literature and patient care.

About this book
This authoritative work provides clinicians, scientists and students with a comprehensive overview of exertional heat illness. Specifically, it addresses the prevention, recognition, treatment, and care of the various medical conditions that fall within the realm of exertional heat illness. In doing so, the book also offers a setting-specific (that is, athletics, military, occupational, and road race medicine) discussion of exertional heat illness for the consideration of the varied medical providers working in these settings. Clinicians will benefit from the discussion of the evidence-based best-practice considerations that should be made in the management of exertional heat illness. Scientists will benefit from this text in that it will provide them with a review of the current scientific evidence related to exertional heat illness and the translation of evidence to clinical practice – while also discussing directions for future research. Finally, students -- primarily postgraduate students interested in developing a line of research related to exertional heat illness -- will find this title an indispensable text to familiarize themselves with this fascinating field of study. A major contribution to the literature, Exertional Heat Illness: A Clinical and Evidence-Based Guide will be of significant interest to clinicians and scientists at all levels of training and experience, especially professionals in athletic training, emergency medical services, emergency room care, sports medicine and primary care.
