Episode 2: The Heat Extremes
If warming trends continue, how long before some sport, in some parts of the world, becomes unsustainable? We always think of ambient air temperature but need to consider surface, clothing, equipment, radiant temperature... How close are we to breaking point and who's deciding when that arrives? First hand stories from Lucie Safarova (tennis) and Amy Steel (netball) illustrate the urgency of the situation. Scientific analysis from Professor Mike Tipton (University of Portsmouth), Stephanie Hall and Jamie Goldie (Monash University, Melbourne) reveals the impact on the human body of the heat extremes.
