Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
