Why do people sweat when they exercise?
Causes of sweating during exercise: sweating during heavy exercise is a physiological phenomenon. Because the whole body blood circulation is accelerated, capillaries dilate and body temperature rises during exercise, it is easy to sweat at this time, and it will naturally sweat a lot at a certain exercise point. Sweating is a self-cooling process of human body, which is influenced by a series of factors such as everyone's physique, environmental temperature, moderation and health.

Sweat glands in human body are divided into active and conservative types, which are closely related to heredity and secretion, so everyone's sweating after exercise is influenced by heredity and secretion.

Extended data:

Sweating more does not mean high exercise intensity, and there is no necessary connection between sweating and exercise intensity. How much you sweat during exercise depends on many factors, including gender (men tend to sweat more than women), age (young people sweat more than old people), heredity, temperature and humidity. Weight also plays an important role. Generally speaking, tall people sweat more because their bodies produce more heat.

Moreover, people with strong physique (physique can be regarded as the comprehensive ability of the body to adapt to life, exercise and environment) are more likely to sweat than those with weak physique. The research results of exercise physiology show that with the improvement of physical quality, the system of regulating heat in the body will start earlier, which will make the body cool down faster and make you exercise harder, that is to say, the amount of sweating will increase.

Sweating is not necessarily related to burning calories, so it is not necessarily related to losing weight. In fact, the duration and intensity of exercise are the two most important factors to measure calorie burning. If you want to lose weight through exercise, instead of paying attention to how much sweat you have, it is better to extend the exercise time and enhance the exercise intensity while doing exercise.
