Abstract: Despite progress in prevention, recognition and treatment, exertional heat stroke (EHS) persists across multiple levels of sport and physical activity, and society remains burdened with preventable deaths. In most EHS-related deaths, an absence of appropriate healthcare, failure to properly recognise and diagnose the condition, and either lack of knowledge or resistance to using best practices are contributing factors responsible for catastrophic outcomes. The purpose of this editorial is to discuss the current landscape related to EHS management, followed by strategies to enhance patient outcomes.
