Warm weather encourages people to get outside and stay active, but exercising in high temperatures can put extra stress on the body. Without proper precautions, heat-related illnesses such as dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke can develop quickly. By understanding how heat affects the body and following a few safety strategies, you can continue to exercise safely during hot weather.

Our Registered Dietitians at Nepean Sports Medicine and Physiotherapy Centre can help endurance athletes build a nutrition plan specific to their body, training schedule, and race goals.
