As they ran drills at practice, the varsity football team at Catalina Foothills High School was sweating under the hot summer sun.Chaz Bennett, a senior on the team, and a full back on the defensive line, took periodic breaks and was staying hydrated in order not to pass out.“It’s hot. When you have adrenaline though you don’t really feel it but early on like right now, it’s pretty hot,” Bennett said.
The National Center For Catastrophic Sport Injury Research said the intensity of the exercise is a leading factor that can increase core body temperature higher and faster than any other.From 1996 to 2023, they said 72 football players died from exertional heat stroke and out of those players, 52 of them were in high school.Players at CFHS said coaches usually give them water breaks about every 15 minutes.
