The Ministry of Education recommends cancelling outdoor sports training between 10:00 and 17:00, IPN reports.
In connection with the weather warnings issued for the next period, the Ministry of Education and Research recommends the sports communities to cancel outdoor training between 10:00 and 17:00 during hot days.
According to the Ministry’s press release, training sessions can be rescheduled outside the mentioned interval or can be held in closed spaces, provided that these are properly ventilated and cooled.
The representatives of sports federations and schools are asked to permanently follow the weather warnings and to adapt the training program according to the weather conditions. The responsibility for informing athletes and parents about the high risk of sunstroke and, as the case may be, about the new training program, lies with each sports federation and school.
The Ministry of Education and Research recommends athletes to take these pieces of advice into account and cooperate closely with coaches and medical staff to ensure sports are practiced safely.
