Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
