Player demographics including height, weight, BMI, and player position were considered. EHI occurrences from 2012 to 2014 were recorded and analyzed to determine EHI risk. These data were collected as part of normal practice\/competition activities, and the researchers did not interact with the subjects of the study. Therefore, approval from the Institution\u2019s Internal Review Board was not required for this investigation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were 309 EHIs over 163,118 athlete-exposures. The linemen group had over 2.5 to 3 times greater risk of sustaining heat syncope\/heat exhaustion (HS\/HE) than the backs (relative risk [RR], 2.63; 95% CI, 1.59-4.33) and Specialists (RR, 3.16; 95% CI, 1.52-6.56) groups. Linemen were at lower risk for exercise-associated muscle cramps (EAMCs) compared with backs (RR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.53-0.76).
