| Abstract: | Students spend the majority of their waking hours at school, making it a critical setting for promoting physical activity across multiple contexts (e.g., recess, physical education, before- and after-school programs, and sports). However, extreme heat conditions pose significant challenges for schools in ensuring these PA opportunities remain both safe and accessible. To ensure students can stay active in hot conditions, school staff should be aware of the risks posed by heat-related illnesses and be equipped with strategies to modify outdoor activities and environments to reduce those risks. This article provides a summary of the risks associated with heat-related illnesses, particularly for vulnerable populations, and outlines a multi-tiered approach to managing these risks in school settings, including physical separation, environmental modifications, administrative controls, and student actions. |
