Hello
Mild rise in body temperature after intense activity like cycling or playing in the sun is normal — this is called “physiological hyperthermia.”
However, a temperature of 101°F or more is usually not caused just by exercise. This level of fever generally suggests an underlying viral or bacterial infection, even if it coincidentally appeared after activity.
After outdoor play, body temperature can temporarily rise (up to ~99–100°F), especially in hot weather. True fever (≥100.4°F or 38°C), particularly if persistent, is not due to exertion and should be monitored. If the child also has fatigue, runny nose, cough, sore throat, vomiting, or body aches, infection is the likely cause.
Next Steps
Give plenty of fluids, rest, and paracetamol if needed.
If fever lasts more than 48 hours, or is associated with other symptoms, consult your pediatrician.

Fever because of too much sports or cycling is unusual.
You should observe the child for any other symptoms and consult with the doctor if the fever is high grade, frequent and if it is persistent for more than 2-3 days.
