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.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
