Football comprised 75% of all EHI events and had the largest rate (1.55\/10\u200a000 AEs; 95% CI = 1.32, 1.78). The overall EHI rate was higher in preseason practices (1.16\/10\u200a000 AEs) than all other time periods (regular and postseason practices and all competitions; 0.23\/10\u200a000 AEs, injury rate ratio [IRR] = 4.96; 95% CI = 3.79, 6.50). This result was retained when examining the individual sports of football (3.65\/10\u200a000 versus 0.63\/10\u200a000 AEs, IRR = 5.82; 95% CI = 4.18, 8.10), men's soccer (1.11\/10\u200a000 versus 0.07\/10\u200a000 AEs, IRR = 16.819; 95% CI = 1.89, 138.55), and women's soccer (1.10\/10\u200a000 versus 0.05\/10\u200a000 AEs, IRR = 22.52; 95% CI = 2.77, 183.05). The EHI rates were highest in states with elevated annual temperatures (1.05\/10\u200a000 AEs). Heat cramps (39%), heat exhaustion (27%), and dehydration (29%) were the most common types of EHI. Nineteen athletes with EHI (8%) required emergency transport.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Football players continue to experience the most EHIs; however, EHIs can potentially occur in all NCAA sports.
