Measures against heat stroke are an important issue for both athletes and non-athletes in the hot and humid stadium in the middle of summer. Therefore, in order to clarify the awareness of and countermeasures for heat stroke, we conducted a questionnaire survey in college students with different exercise habits regarding heat stroke countermeasures implemented in the previous summer. Based on the results, there was a significant difference in measures against heat stroke associated with differences in exercise habits. Those who exercised regularly often implemented measures in response to a rise in body temperature, such as increased body temperature, water loss, and the use of air conditioners. On the other hand, it was clarified that those who did not exercise regularly tended to avoid the causes of increased body temperature, such as avoiding hightemperature environments and excessive exercise. Therefore, it was suggested that the measures implemented tend to differ depending on the presence or absence of exercise habits.
