Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration.
