"Researchers have warned that footballers will face extreme heat stress at 10 of the 16 stadiums hosting the next World Cup, calling for a review of event timing."
"Co-author Marek Konefal stated that future World Cups will be increasingly played under extreme heat conditions as climate change intensifies, suggesting a reassessment of the sports calendar."
"Katarzyna Lindner-Cendrowska explained that the existing wet bulb temperature metric does not fully account for athletes' heat production, hence underestimating the thermal stress they face."
"Julien Periard noted that while the study incorporates some exercise effects on heat index, it ultimately underestimates the actual risk professional players face during intense matches."
