heat exhaustion?

Last week my bro got heat exhaustion while playing paintball, we thought that it was because it was around 100 degrees. But today he did as well, and it is only like 80. He did not get to play that much as he got sick early on in the day. He is in shape and works out on a daily bases, he hydrated himself in the days leading up to the days he got heat exhaustion as well as the same day of. I am thinking that it may be something else, because it is odd that someone in shape can get heat exhaustion so easy without doing that much physical activity. Any ideas on what it may be.

    Well, this has also happened to me. Almost to the point where I had a heat stroke. It was during equestrian (a sport).

    After each time your body reaches this point, it becomes.. well.. it starts to occur more easily. Meaning now, since this has happened a couple of times, your body is going to need A LOT more water. Bring a couple of water bottles for him. And at least every ten minutes... i would make him drink three gulps of water... or more. but not too much, then he'll get sick lol

    hope this helps
