Unsurprisingly, those people who are outside the most can be at increased risk from the negative effects of sun exposure. This can include susceptibility to skin cancer, and faster aging of the skin. This can be particularly problematic for sports people who must regularly train and play outdoors in the sun. Fortunately it’s possible to effectively mitigate this risk with good sun protection techniques and a common sense approach to scheduling your training time.

This infographic by harleymedical contains key statistics associated with sun exposure; it discusses the factors that can result in increased sun exposure, the effects of the weather and the amount of UV reaching the ground. It also discusses how to properly use sunscreen, as well as the degree of protection that is offered by clothing. The final part of the infographic discusses how it’s important for adults to set a great example for the children in their care.
