Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration.
