Environmental health during extreme heat: challenges for the practice of safe physical activity in childhood and adolescence.
Review in Cadernos de saude publica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This essay discusses evidence and evidence-based strategies to ensure the safety, well-being, and continuity of physical activity for children and adolescents during extreme heat. It emphasizes the adaptation of environments, professional training, and equity in public policies. High temperatures and sedentary behaviors are not isolated challenges, and they create a critical scenario for the health of children and adolescents when combined, with impacts ranging from thermal regulation to mental health, motor behavior, and risk of obesity. The increasing frequency of extreme heatwaves imposes additional barriers to the safe practice of physical activity among this population, further exacerbating preexisting inequalities. Intense heat increases the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and cognitive impairments, particularly in children, who show lower heat dissipation efficiency due to specific physiological characteristics. Exposure to high temperatures reduces outdoor physical activity, contributing to the worsening of sedentary behavior and pediatric obesity. In this context, adaptive strategies become urgent. Key measures include rescheduling physical activity to cooler times of the day, promoting and ensuring adequate hydration, creating shaded and green outdoor spaces, and strengthening public policies aimed at mitigating environmental impacts on children's health. Additionally, training education professionals and adapting school infrastructure are essential to ensure safer and health-promoting environments in the face of climate change.
