Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
