I played 2.5hrs of tennis at age 56 from 330-6pm Tuesday - no big deal, just stay hydrated

That’s assume advice to give to someone who doesn’t live here and isn’t acclimated.

If you are heat adjusted. Also playing tennis you can stop at any time if you feel over heated. On a hike, you are kind of toast if you have to hike back 2 miles or more when you are gassed, overheated or whatever in the heat. That is way different then stepping off a tennis court, dousing in available cold water, no more energy needed.
