Wet bulb thermometers
The local high school football team is out practicing in 100 degree weather(don't know what the humidity has been here in Southern Missouri the last few days, but very close to Africa hot). Old style coach, works the heck out of the kids. Additionally, the girls softball coach, worked the girls yesterday until a few started vomiting.
So, I am going to go purchase a wet-bulb thermometer for the school. My question: does anybody have any experience with a wet-bulb thermometer, preferably hand-held, easy to use, tells a coach what to do, etc. I was further curious as to whether the military was issuing such a device to any small-unit leaders.
My idea is to get something into the athletic dept.'s hands that will be easy for them to use, with the goal of keeping something serious from happening to a kid from the heat.
Sorry to post something so amazingly boring.
