Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
