About this course

Exercise-Associated Hyponatremia (EAH) is a potentially life-threatening condition that presents ongoing diagnostic and management challenges in endurance athletes. This webinar course is designed for sports medicine and critical care clinicians seeking evidence-based guidance applicable to both pre-hospital and event-based settings.

Participants will review key aspects of EAH epidemiology and pathophysiology, strengthen clinical recognition, and explore how point-of-care testing can support timely diagnosis and treatment decisions. Practical prevention strategies will also be addressed to improve athlete safety and outcomes.

The session will be led by Dr. Stéphane Bermon, Director of the Health and Science Department at World Athletics, whose experience in elite sport and applied endurance medicine bring real-world relevance to this activity.
