it‘s what makes Subaru, Subaru. >>JENNIFER WAUGH: NOW TO A HEALTH ALERT FOR STUDENT
ATHLETES COACHES AND PARENTS
LAST TUESDAY, A
16 YEAR-OLD BOY COLLAPSED AND
DIED IN MISSISSIPPI DURING
MORNING FOOTBALL CONDITIONING
DRILLS ON THE SAME DAY
IN KENTUCKY. THE SAME THING
HAPPENED TO A TEENAGE BOY
DURING AFTERNOON SOCCER DRILLS
HE ALSO DIED. THEIR AUTOPSY
RESULTS HAVE NOT COME BACK.
SO WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED
THEIR DEATHS BUT THEY ARE
REMINDER OF THE DANGERS OF OUR
TEENS AND THE DANGERS THEY FACE
WORKING OUT IN
THE HEAT AND ALSO WHAT YOU MAY
NOT REALIZE IS THAT STUDENT
ATHLETES COULD BE AT AN
INCREASED RISK OF SERIOUS
ILLNESS BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC
BELIEVE IT OR NOT
BOB STAFF CHECK IS THE DIRECTOR
OF THE JACKSONVILLE SPORTS
MEDICINE PROGRAM. HE’S JOINING
US THIS MORNING. THE EXAM GOOD
MORNING BOB.
>> GOOD MORNING JOHN AND A
VIRTUAL HOME VIDEO.
>> IT’S BEEN A
WHILE NOW SO HOW DOES THE
PANDEMIC BOB IMPACT TEENS WHO
ARE NOW GETTING BACK TO
PRACTICE AFTER REALLY A LONG
BREAK.
>> YOU KNOW THAT ONE OF ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT JUMPS OUT IS YOU KNOW A SEDENTARY
LIFESTYLE, THE THE DECLINE AND
FITNESS THAT THEY’RE GOING
BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT USED TO
BEING OUT ON THAT’S SPORTS
FIELD ALL
THE TIME.
>> YOU KNOW WHEN WE’RE IN
REGULAR SCHOOL AND REGULAR
SPORTS WHERE CONSTANTLY OUT
THERE RUNNING AROUND AND DOING
ORGANIZE THINGS DONE. NOW AS
THE PANDEMIC WE SHUT DOWN FOR
QUITE
A WHILE.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: AND MAYBE
THEY’RE ALSO NOT RECOGNIZING
BECAUSE IT IS SO HOT OUT
THEY’VE BEEN REALLY IN A SCENE
OUT FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF
MONTHS THAT THEY GET
DEHYDRATED.
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW
ANOTHER GREAT PIECE THAT YOU
BRING IN THERE, YOU KNOW THERE
WERE USED TO BEING IN THE AIR
CONDITION ENVIRONMENT WHERE
PROBABLY NOT IN TAKING AS MUCH
HYDRATION IS WHAT WE WOULD
NORMALLY DO WHEN PARTICIPATING
OUTSIDE EVEN
THINGS FROM YOU KNOW MEDICAL
CONDITIONS THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE
BEEN OF MEDICATIONS AND
SUPPLEMENTS THAT
THEY’RE USING ALL THOSE THINGS
ARE BUSY LOGICALLY WORKING
YOU KNOW AS THEY NORMALLY WOULD
IN THEIR BODIES AND AND COULD
COULD DAMAGE SOME PREDISPOSE
RISK AND
YOU MENTIONED DEFINITELY THE
HEAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST
FACTORS WE’VE BEEN BATTLING FOR
SOME TIME NOW
YOU KNOW WE DO HAVE SOME
PROVISIONS IN PLACE FOR THAT
WE’RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT AT
A
LATER TIME.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: IT’S
INTERESTING TO THEM AND ARE YOU
SUGGESTING, THEN THAT THESE
STUDENT ATHLETES BECAUSE I KNOW
THE DUVAL COUNTY AND OTHER
COUNTIES ARE ARE REALLY
STARTING BACK UP WITH
CONDITIONING NOW THIS SUMMER
AND GIVEN
THE HEAT I MEAN SHOULD THE KIDS
SOMEHOW DO SOMETHING TO
ACCLIMATE YOU KNOW THEMSELVES
BEFORE THEY JUST RUN OUT AND
START, YOU KNOW EXERCISING
OUTSIDE FOR HOURS ON END.
>> WELL I THINK WE ARE SEEING
THAT WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD
TAMMY TELL YOU OUR DISTRICT
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR FOR DUVAL
SCHOOLS HAS PUT TOGETHER A
GREAT PLAN IT
IT’S A PHASED APPROACH MUCH
LIKE AND EVERYTHING ELSE YOU
KNOW GOING ON IN OUR IN
OUR STATE WHERE THE KIDS THE
FIRST 2 WEEKS ARE GOING TO BE
IN SOMEWHAT OF A PRE
ACCLIMATIZATION
PROCESS AND THEN AS THE
INTENSITY OF THEIR BEGINS TO
BUILD. NO BE ABLE TO END TIMES
THEIR PRACTICE SESSION AND
THINGS LIKE THAT SO
THIS IS THE FIRST 2 WEEKS I
THINK ARE LIMITED TO ABOUT A
ONE HOUR. WORKOUT
SESSION. SO THAT THAT’S JUST
GETTING THEM BACK INTRODUCED TO
YOU KNOW THEIR ACTIVITY AND
YOU KNOW REALLY INGESTING THAT
EXTRA FLUID AND BEING ABLE TO
RETAIN BEING ABLE TO GET BACK
WITH THE GROUP THAT
IT WILL.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: SO IS
INTERESTING IS ANXIOUS. I THINK
ALL PARENTS ARE IT JUST THEIR
KIDS GETTING OUT OF THE HOUSE
IN THEIR TEENS OUT OF THE HOUSE
AND DOING SOME PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY AFTER LIKE 3 MONTHS OF
OF OF BASICALLY YOU KNOW BEING
TOLD TO
STAY HOME. THERE ARE THOUGH
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS DO YOU
AGREE THAT PARENTS NEED TO BE
ASKING OF THEIR OF THEIR
COACHES AND REALLY OF THEIR
ATHLETE. ONE YOU KNOW ABOUT
WHAT DO THEY HAVE AT
THE FACILITY FOR EXAMPLE AT THE
SCHOOL SHOULD THEIR CHILD GET
INTO TROUBLE AND THEN ALSO THE
QUESTIONS PARENTS SHOULD BE
ASKING OF THEIR PEDIATRICIANS
LET’S START FIRST WITH
QUESTIONS THAT THAT PARENTS
SHOULD BE ASKING BEFORE THEY
SEND THE KIDS OFF
TO CONDITIONING.
>> SO AGAIN ALWAYS IMPORTANT NO
MATTER IF IT’S A PANDEMIC OR
NOT YOU KNOW EMERGENCY ACTION
PLANS ARE THE COACHES PREPARED
AND THEY
CPR CERTIFIED ARE THEY READY TO
RESPOND IN THE EVENT OF AN
EMERGENCY OR AN INJURY
SITUATION IF
YOU WILL WHAT ARE THEIR
IS THE PRESENT AND IS THERE A
PLAN IN PLACE OR SWIFT ACTION.
YOU KNOW SHOULD SOMETHING
OCCUR. AGAIN I THINK WE
YOU KNOW PREPARED OUR DUVALL
SCHOOLS ON GREAT WITH THAT.
WEEDS VANCE FORWARD
WITH HAVING. ATHLETIC
PROVIDING SOME LEADERSHIP TO
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR HIGH
SCHOOLS OUT
THERE SO I THINK WE’RE PRETTY
WELL PREPARED WITH A LONG OF
THE PLANET AND TELLY AS IN
PLACE. YOU KNOW AS FAR AS THE
PEDIATRICIANS GO ONE THIS IS
ONE
OF THEM. BIGGEST AREAS THAT WE
HAD SOME QUESTION MARKS WET
ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE.
WE KNOW THAT THE PARTICIPATION
PHYSICAL EXAM IS THE FIRST STEP
OF
INJURY PREVENTION. WHEN WILL
THE KIDS HAVE ACCESS TO
PRIMARY CARE FAMILY HEALTH CARE
PROVIDERS PEDIATRICIANS IN
ORDER TO GET THOSE GREAT
PARTICIPATION PHYSICAL AND
ACTUALLY WE FOUND THAT
EVERYTHING SEEMS TO
BE GOING MUCH SMOOTHER THAN
WHAT OUR ANXIETIES INITIALLY
TOLD
US SO OUR KIDS ARE ARE BEING
ABLE TO GET IN OUR HEALTH CARE
PROVIDERS ARE TEAMING UP AND
COMING
TOGETHER AND MAKING SURE THAT
KIDS DO GET THOSE PRE
PARTICIPATION PHYSICALS MAKING
SURE THAT THEY ARE IN IT.
IT’S IMPORTANT THAT
THE KIDS AND THE PARENTS ALSO
KNOW AS WELL AS THE SCHOOL AND
THE COACHES THAT.
OR STATE LAW NOW REQUIRES
BEFORE ANY ACTIVITY SO WHETHER
IT’S A A VOLUNTARY
CONDITIONING PROGRAM.
OR WEIGHT LIFTING PROGRAM ALL
OF THEIR PAPERWORK NEEDS TO BE
IN PLACE LIKE THEIR PHYSICALS
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT
IS DONE AT
A TIME WE’RE NOT WAITING FOR
SCHOOL TO BEGIN WE’RE NOT
WAITING FOR THE TEAM TO BE
SELECTED ALL OF THAT NEEDS TO
BE IN PLACE
A A.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: YEAH AND
THOSE APPOINTMENTS NEED YOU
NEED TO START MAKING THEM NOW,
I KNOW IT TOOK ME ABOUT A MONTH
TO GET IN TO SEE MY
PEDIATRICIAN IS SET UP
THAT APPOINTMENT BOB SUBJECT IS
THE DIRECTOR OF JACKSONVILLE
AND MEDICINE PROGRAM, THANKS
FOR
JOINING US. AND I THINK THAT
THIS IS ALSO A REMINDER TO THE
PARENTS WHO
ARE WATCHING THAT YOU NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE ASKING
YOUR TEENAGER QUESTIONS WHEN
THEY COME BACK
FROM YOU KNOW WHATEVER WORK OUT
THAT THEY PARTICIPATED AND YOU
KNOW ANY KIND OF SYMPTOMS THEY
MIGHT HAVE OF OF SOME KIND OF
