Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth.
