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.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
