  1. Athletes & Heat stroke Julia Escamilla - Grade 10

  2. [Roles & Tasks] [Resources] [Evaluation] [Conclusion] [Citations] Home The headlines from the sports page were stunning. Korey Stringer, the Minnesota Viking's Pro-Bowl tackle, was dead of heatstroke after collapsing during practice. How could a highly-conditioned professional athlete, supervised by a legion of coaches, trainers, and doctors, die this way? He was only 27. One week earlier, University of Florida freshman fullback Eraste Autin died six days after collapsing from heatstroke following a workout in Gainesville. When Autin collapsed, the temperature was 88 degrees with 72 percent humidity and a heat index of 102 How can coaches prevent their highly competitive athletes from killing themselves in their quest to be stronger? At what point must coaches and athletes be willing to step back from the code that says quitters never win and winners never quit? In a culture that demands pushing your physical limits to the max, how can tragedies like the deaths of Stringer and Autin be prevented? Investigate Read the news release from about Stringer's death Read the news release from The Orlando Sentinel about Autin's death You and your group are members of a special task force convened by the National Federation of High School Associations (NFHS). The NFHS is determined to stop further heatstroke deaths in sports. They feel that education of coaches and athletes is the key. You have three tasks: -Research the causes and symptoms of heatstroke. Identify the risk factors which might contribute to a fatality. Find out how coaches, parents, and athletes can prevent heatstroke. -Survey local coaches and athletes about their knowledge of heatstroke. -Produce products that can be used to educate coaches, parents, and players about heatstroke. These materials should emphasize heatstroke prevention and treatment. Your team might be assigned to prepare and deliver a verbal presentation (a video, a skit or a talk) and deliver it to local athletes and coaches. You might create a newsletter, poster, or brochure, using persuasive writing techniques to make an impact and influence attitudes. Take Action Click here to see your roles

[Home] [Roles & Tasks] [Resources] [Evaluation] [Conclusion] [Citations] Roles & Tasks Investigate your role by clicking on the appropriate link below: Physicians: Make yourself an expert on the causes of heatstroke. Find out what happens to the body when it becomes severely overheated. You will investigate risk factors, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment. Coaches: Make yourself an expert in heatstroke prevention. What steps must coaches take to prevent heatstroke? Prepare a list of recommended actions that coaches should take to protect athletes. Investigative Reporters: Research the backgrounds of Korey Stringer and Eraste Autin. Find out what made them special to their family, friends, coaches, and team mates. This information can be used to add emotional impact to the factual information your team will present. Find out about other instances of heat-related death. Create a survey to find out about the attitudes and experiences of local athletes regarding heat-related problems.

After you do some research, you will probably come up with even more questions. -Divide the responsibility for finding answers and doing research between group members -Help each other clarify confusing information. Make sure that each person in the group understands all the information -Present an overview of your findings to the class orally. All physicians must participate. -Your teacher will "jigsaw" your class to create teams of three with one physician, one coach, and one investigative reporter on each team. The goal of these teams will be to produce products (newsletters, skits, web pages, posters, etc.) to educate and influence athletes, coaches, and parents.

  7. [Home] [Roles & Tasks] [Resources] [Evaluation] [Conclusion] [Citations] Products Newsletter/Brochure for Athletes: Create a newsletter or brochure designed to influence and educate young athletes about the dangers of heat stroke. Make it personal and compelling by incorporating information about Korey Stringer, Eraste Autin, and others who have been hurt or killed by heatstroke. Tell what happens to the body when it becomes severely overheated. Explain the risk factors, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment. Include a write-up of the survey results obtained by the Investigative Reporter (graphs would be a great touch). Most importantly, explain what steps athletes should take to prevent heatstroke from happening to them. Make sure that your writing is clear and easy to understand as well as accurate. A glossary or list defining some important technical terms would be useful to your audience. Note: You might need two newsletters for athletes; one for middle school/high school age and one for younger athletes. Create a Skit and Present It: Write a script and act it out. Present the skit at a school assembly, team meeting, or other forum where you can educate athletes, coaches, and parents. Make the skit entertaining and informative. Make sure to convey the necessary information. Tell what happens to the body when it becomes severely overheated. Explain the risk factors, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment. Plan to include simple costumes and props. Rehearse until your group looks and sounds professional. You might need to recruit other students to play roles. Note: The skit could easily be turned into a video. This would make it easier for many groups to see it. Create a Multimedia Presentation (and give a talk): Script and deliver a talk about heat stroke. Use PowerPoint or another multimedia authoring program to make slides to accompany your presentation. Explain the risk factors, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment. Include the survey results obtained by the Investigative Reporter. Most importantly, explain what steps athletes, coaches, and parents should take to prevent heatstroke fatalities. Give this talk to a group of athletes. Note: You might need two presentations for athletes; one for middle school/high school age and one for younger athletes.
