Heat Stroke
Evaporation of sweat is an important cooling system that can efficiently remove heat. However, if exercise is done in a hot, humid environment, then sweat does not evaporate.
Heat stroke- A deadly heat stress illness resulting from dehydration and overexertion in warm or hot conditions; can cause body core temperature to rise from normal to 100 or 105 degrees Fahrenheit in just a few minutes.
HEAT STROKE is one of the few potentially lethal complications of sport in a healthy individual.

Heat exhaustion and heat stroke can occur when you're dehydrated and in the throes of rocking out, especially during the hottest part of the day (10am - 4pm).
Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke
Heat-related illnesses can be a common occurrence when exerting energy in the outdoors or poorly ventilated indoors. Two primary contributors can be alcohol consumption and not enough water.
The symptoms of overheating can include cramps, nausea, tingling and clammy skin, and can lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Signs of heat exhaustion include sweating a lot, skin that is clammy and cool, and a pulse that is rapid and weak.
This has been of particular concern among persons with cardiovascular disease and prior heat stroke patients.

It can be added to a cool bath or used on a cold compress in cases of heat exhaustion and heat stroke (accompanied by, of course, copious amounts of water and electrolytes!), and used in a similar manner to reduce fever.
As a result we often excrete more water than we intake, which can lead to heat cramps, heat syncope, dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. The most common electrolyte/fluid imbalances are heat cramps and syncope and dehydration.
The danger of training in too warm of weather is the risk of 'hyperthermia' (heat stroke). This occurs when the heat-regulating mechanisms of the body are overwhelmed by the over-heated environment and cannot cool the body.
water while exercising (via sweating) can be significant, including notable declines in endurance performance and elevations in heart rate and body core temperature, and heat disorders (ranging from heat cramps to a potentially fatal heat stroke).
Dehydration occurs via water removal (e.g. sweating, urine production) and/or inadequate fluid intake. Dehydration compromises CV and thermoregulatory functions, impairs performance, and increases the risk of heat illness (e.g. heat stroke).
suits and exercising intensely without drinking adequate water in order to desperately make weight for a wrestling meet. It must have been the horrible supplement that did it because nobody has ever died from catastrophic dehydration or heat stroke, ...
