Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
