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.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it.
