Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat.
