Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling.

Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
