Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
