Research suggests the temperature outside is only a partial factor in your risk of suffering heat illness.
“Being fit and being well heat acclimatized are two things that are closely related,” he said. “When people acclimate to a hot environment, their core temperatures and heart rates will become lower. As unfit people find the burden of the climb harder, they’ll perform at maximal capacity sooner, but have more limited ability to lose the heat, which increased the risk for heat illness.”
Despite the small sample size and the specificity of hiking, Wardenaar feels the results are helpful for people in all types of outdoor activities, including running, and the findings should be a prompt to focus on hydration even more than you might think. Gradually increasing fitness on hot days can be useful as well, he added, since it can allow you to deal with the heat more effectively.Elizabeth Millard is a freelance writer focusing on health, wellness, fitness, and food.
