Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth.
