hydration

A

Similar to adults

Higher ratio of body surface area to body weight - Age 8 - 50% higher ratio compared to adult - children get rid of heat quicker than adults

Less developed sweat glands - Difficult to get rid of heat through sweating

Gains and losses of weight should be avoided

Lose heat through evaporation of sweat through skin

Similar core temps when exercising at high temps with children and adults

Avoid dehydration - lose 2%+ body weight

However much lost should be replaced with 150x lost - not everything you drink is absorbed
