USA Triathlon (USAT) is supporting a study by the Department of Sports Medicine at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, which is researching heat illness in endurance athletes.
The Heat Illness in Endurance Athletes study aims to answer questions such as: how many athletes feel sick during hot races? Why do some athletes get sicker than others? What can be done to prevent these symptoms?
Athletes who have attempted a marathon, half marathon, or triathlon within the past two weeks may be eligible to complete an online survey about their race. The survey takes 5-10 minutes to complete and is fully anonymous. The survey will not affect athletes’ or triathletes’ participation in future races.
To take the survey, race participants can visit the following link
