Summary Introduction

To explain: The policies in the states of USA to protect high school athletes from heat illness.

Concept introduction: When the body temperature rises above 97°F (36.1°C) to 99°F (37.2°C) range, the control center for thermoregulation in the brain inducts signals. Counter current heat exchange occurs. The blood vessels near the skin will dilate and heat is released to the exterior. When the body temperature drops below a certain range, the control center for thermoregulation in the brain inducts signals. This results in body shivering and counter current heat exchange occurs. The blood vessels near the skin constrict resulting in the conservation of heat. The above processes are collectively called as counter current heat exchange. Heat illness is a condition where the brain fails to thermo-regulate over the exposure to heat.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason why heat illness is much more common in football players than athletes.
