Aquatic Exercise and Heat-Related Injuries.

Sova, Ruth

Parks and Recreation, v26 n2 p46-49 Feb 1991

Heat-related injuries in aquatics classes are possible, though 100 percent preventable. The article discusses heat-related syndromes; how bodies generate and dissipate heat; how elevated heart rates that burn calories differ from those that dissipate heat; and modification of exercise intensity to provide calorie-burning workouts without heat-related stress.
