One of the main problems that can be caused by heat is thermal stress, which occurs when the body's internal temperature is overloaded and unable to maintain the ideal temperature. In general, any environment or circumstance that exposes the body to heat sources above 35 ° C can cause physical and mental changes in the worker and may even cause stroke.
Some ways to avoid heat stress and stroke are to rest 10 minutes for every 45 minutes of activity, wear loose clothing that allows sweat to evaporate and drink water before, during and after a workout. The use of sunscreens and sunblocks is not effective in avoiding heat stress and stroke, because these products have the sole function of protecting the skin from solar radiation.
