Heatstroke Prevention Measures
- Make sure to bring a hat and/or parasol, and take advantage of portable fans and other cooling products.
- Wear clothes that are breathable, moisture wicking, and quick drying.
- Even if you do not feel thirsty, be sure to drink plenty of water and keep up your electrolytes with sports drinks, etc. There will be vending machines, water stations, cafes, and kitchen cars within the park.
- Make good use of shade and take frequent breaks. In addition to Team Lounges, break tents will also be available on site.
Trainers with Young Children
- Trainers who have young children with them should pay particularly close attention to their well-being.
- A child’s ability to regulate their own body temperature is not fully developed. This makes them more susceptible to heat stroke than adults. Please take extra care to keep them cool.
- Keep an eye out for symptoms or unusual changes in their behavior. If you notice flushed skin or excessive sweating, please head to a cool area and rest for a while.
- Beware of reflected heat. If the air temperature is 32℃ (90°F) at head-level for an adult, it will be 35℃ (95°F) for a child. Children in strollers will experience similar effects based on how far off the ground they are.
- Choose appropriate clothing. Wear cool clothing that can be removed as needed.
- Make sure they stay hydrated.
