Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat.
