[Sports under the sun].
The outdoor sports during summer and winter are often performed under uncontrolled exposure to ultraviolet irradiation from sunlight. Dangers are not small for the skin, the eyes and the immune system. Adequate sun protection is recommended. Caution is important in young children. The daily UV index represents a standardized assessment having a regional predictive value for the intensity of the ultraviolet irradiation reaching the biosphere.
