Explanation:

Detailed explanation-2: -(1) “Thirst” (the sensation of wanting to drink) and “dehydration” (the physiological fact of having lost fluids) are two related but distinct things. (2) It’s thirst, not dehydration, that causes impaired exercise performance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dehydration. Ironically, becoming dehydrated in the first place could prevent you from feeling thirsty as dehydration progresses.
