Explanation:

- The passage discusses heat exhaustion as a hazard, specifically in the context of outdoor sports.

- The blank requires a word that connects the action of wearing heat-trapping clothes to playing outdoor sports.

- Option 1: Since - Implies a reason or cause. It doesn't fit well because the sentence compares two scenarios without implication of cause.

- Option 2: While - Shows contrast or simultaneous occurrence, fitting the sentence context where wearing heat-trapping clothes is a simultaneous condition.

- Option 3: Instead - Implies an alternative. It's irrelevant here as the point is about circumstances rather than alternatives.

- Option 4: Otherwise - Implies a condition leading to a different outcome, which doesn’t align with the sentence’s context.
