Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth.
