Comment on Fresh air can help improve performance. by Jordan Reed
Jordan Reed- I am not currently monitoring air pollution/quality in my area. I’ve been more aware of it lately because of the fires that have been happening in Canada. Seeing the enormous effect it has had not only on the land, but also in the air. It has spread all the way to my home state of Virginia. I think if you live somewhere where air quality is a concern, you should be aware of it and monitor it daily, especially if you have athletes participating in outdoor sports. Long-term effects can occur due to poor air quality and it is not ideal for people to regularly breathe outside. If the air quality is poor, as a future Athletic Trainer there must be other places where the team/individual can participate and/or practice. It is preferable to ensure that these areas are available and ready for use, as air quality can change quickly.
