Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off.

When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
