Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases.
