In two Canadian runs with a total of approximately 2900 participants 26 people collapsed with heat injury and were taken to hospital. All were relatively young (13 to 38 years old). A retrospective survey showed that all were novices to 10-km races and that many had collapsed even though they had consumed fluids before and during the run. A review of etiologic factors suggested that the extremes in the Canadian climate, which preclude heat acclimatization in the spring and early summer, may be an important influence on the incidence of heat injury.
在加拿大进行的两次跑步活动中,共有约2900名参与者,其中26人因热损伤而晕倒并被送往医院。他们都相对年轻(13至38岁)。一项回顾性调查显示,他们都是10公里赛跑的新手,而且许多人即使在跑步前和跑步过程中饮用了液体仍晕倒了。对病因因素的审查表明,加拿大气候的极端情况,使得春季和初夏无法进行热适应,这可能对热损伤的发生率有重要影响。
