Padres y entrenadores: ustedes pueden prevenir enfermedades a causa del calor. En días calurosos, ajusten los horarios, den descansos y estén atentos a las señales de insolación. Obtenga más información en bit.ly/recursosparaelcalor#HeatSafeLA
ALT ¿Cuándo hace demasiado calor para jugar?
La insolación es la tercera causa de muerte repentina entre los atletas adolescentes.
En los días de calor extremo, todos, incluyendo los entrenadores y padres, toman parte en la prevención de el golpe de calor.
ALT Entrenadores: Ustedes son el ejemplo.
Los entrenadores son responsables de crear una cultura segura y consciente del calor que implique a los deportistas, los padres y equipo médico.
Aclimata gradualmente a los atletas al calor.
No limiten el acceso al agua; hagan pausas frecuentes.
Ajusten o acorten las prácticas en calor extremo.
Respeten decisiones médicas, de padres y estudiantes.
ALT Haz un plan de seguridad contra el calor.
Todos los equipos deben tener un plan de emergencia contra el calor e incorporar la seguridad contra el calor en todos los ejercicios y entrenamientos.
Establece márgenes de tiempo dedicado al entrenamiento y descanso.
Presta atención al seguimiento de la tasa de sudoración.
Usa herramientas como NWS HeatRisk y CalHeatScore para evaluar el riesgo.
ALT Recuerda, no es necesario hacer un diagnóstico.
Si crees que un jugador presenta síntomas de enfermedad por calor, retíralo del campo y bríndale el tratamiento adecuado mientras otra persona busca atención médica.
Recuerde: Las escuelas de CIF deben seguir las Políticas de Prevención de Enfermedades por Calor y Aclimatación bajo la Política de Calidad del Aire y Calor Extremo de CIF.
Coaches and parents: your choices matter. On hot days, shifting practice times, encouraging water breaks, and watching for signs of overheating can keep teens safe. Learn more at bit.ly/LA-Heat-Resources#HeatSafeLA
ALT When Is It Too Hot to Play?
Heat stroke is the 3rd leading cause of sudden death in teen athletes.
On extreme heat days, everyone—including coaches and parents—has a role in preventing heat illness.
ALT Coaches: You Set the Standard.
Coaches are responsible for building a safe, heat-aware culture that involves athletes, parents, and medical staff.
Gradually acclimate athletes to the heat.
Do not limit water access and incorporate frequent water breaks.
Modify or shorten practices in extreme temperatures.
Respect medical staff, parents, and students’ decisions.
ALT Build a Heat Safety Plan.
Every team should have a heat emergency plan and should incorporate heat safety into every drill and training.
Set work-to-rest ratios.
Be aware of sweat rate tracking.
Use tools like NWS HeatRisk and CalHeatScore to assess risk.
ALT Remember, you don't need to make a diagnosis.
If you think a player is exhibiting symptoms of heat illness, remove the player from the field and provide the appropriate treatment while someone else seeks medical attention.
Remember: CIF schools must follow the Heat Illness Prevention and Acclimatization Policies under the CIF Extreme Heat & Air Quality Policy.
