Singapore Sports School Uses Ice to Beat the Heat

SINGAPORE – Ice has been a lifesaver for Singapore Sports School student Angelina Tay, 14, during netball training six times a week, when she reaches into a cooler box on the sidelines to beat the heat.

Experts predict that temperatures in April and May – often the warmest months of the year – might climb higher, given theLate March and some days in April have seen daily maximum temperatures hover close to 35 deg C, despite the storms on several days. Angelina said she now gets about twice the number of water breaks she did two weeks ago. But this also means that each training session is about 15 to 30 minutes longer.

SSP football academy senior coach Shahrin Shari said lately he noticed players struggling under the “unbearable” and “unforgiving” heat, especially when the warm weather coincided with the fasting month. Mr Razif said this helps players channel their thoughts away from the heat and focus better on the sport.

Since the start of 2024, the Lion City Sailors Football Club has been using a handheld sensor to track at 15-minute intervals the temperature and humidity of its training field. To help encourage better hydration practices during training, players are also encouraged to weigh themselves before and after training.

The duration of the breaks must also increase along with hourly temperatures and level of physical activity performed.Mr Allan Low, deputy quality, environmental, health and safety director at Teambuild Construction Group, said his firm has adopted the MOM heat stress management programme. The firm also provides its workers with long-sleeved uniforms to reduce damage from direct sunlight, and is supporting the Workplace Safety and Health Institute’s

SAS also meets member firms and security officers to get feedback before issuing heat advisories, Mr Sabapathy said.
