Abstract

<p>We aimed to report a case study of exertional heat stroke prevention strategies imple-mented by full-time athletic trainer in a Japanese high school. Exertional heat stroke prevention strategies included: (1) modifications in practice time, (2) activity modification guidelines based on environmental condition, (3) proper hydration, (4) optimizing available equipment and practice environment, and (5) education. These prevention strategies involved various stakeholders of school (e.g., administrator, school nurse, faculty, coach) for implementation. Future effort to quantify effects from these strategies are warranted to establish exertional heat stroke prevention program that can be applied in other schools.</p>
