Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation.
