世界杯防暑，赛前热适应比中场降温更重要
The World Cup often takes place in countries with intense summer heat. To protect players, organizers have introduced cooling breaks during matches. These brief pauses allow athletes to drink water and rest. While such measures seem helpful, they are not the most effective solution. Many experts now believe that pre-tournament heat acclimatization is far more important for athlete safety.
Sports scientists argue that short cooling breaks do little to lower deep body temperature. The body generates tremendous heat during intense exercise, and a two-minute pause is simply not enough. Even longer breaks in air-conditioned rooms would be more effective, but they are rarely practical during a match. As a result, players often continue to struggle in the heat despite these official stoppages.
