Hot temperatures have created dangerous environments in several US cities during summer 2019; in July, Baltimore and New York issued Code Red Extreme Heat Alerts. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in excess of 600 Americans die every year as a result of heat-related illness, while an additional 65,000 are hospitalized. Temperatures this summer have made outdoor physical activity risky and, while the AHA doesn't suggest people should avoid exercising outdoors, it recommends doing so with caution.
One of the AHA's primary recommendations is to scale back on exercise intensity and pay attention to symptoms of heatstroke and heat exhaustion. In addition, heat cramps, characterized by muscle spasms, typically occur in the legs. Individuals should stop exercising if they notice these spasms and, if they last for more than an hour, seek medical attention. Heat exhaustion symptoms include weakness, dizziness, and heavy sweating. Those experiencing heatstroke can lose consciousness, become confused, and have an elevated heart rate.
The best times to exercise outdoors are before 10 a.m. and after 5 p.m. Even then, individuals should drink a sufficient amount of water before and after exercising and wear light, loose-fitting clothing.
