Cooper quoted in Courier Journal
Bud Cooper, clinical professor and clinical education coordinator in the Department of Kinesiology, was quoted in a Courier Journal article about the Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s (KHSAA) recent adoption of a new heat policy.
The policy measures heat based on wet bulb globe temperature, a measurement used in other southern states including Georgia, and is similar to guidelines developed by Cooper and the Georgia High School Association for Georgia high school athletes. However, the KHSAA policy does not mention practices.
“Ninety percent of all deaths occur in practice, they don’t occur in a game,” Cooper said. “So, I applaud Kentucky for putting this policy together and having this in place, but it is not addressing the critical need and that is: What are you doing in practice?”
