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.
