Hello. Thank you for your question. Light headedness and dizziness in this age group is typically due yo mild dehydration. Your daughter's exercising makes her fluid requirement even higher. She should be encouraged to continue her exercising but pay closer attention to her hydration. Increased fluid intake should help alleviate this problem.
