Reasons why sweating increases with regular exercise

 

Even people who didn't sweat easily tend to sweat very well after a good session of exercise or sauna to cool down. Why is that?

1. Because the sweating function has improved.

 

2. The reason for sweating is to regulate body temperature.

 

3. When the core temperature rises, our body uses the skin, which has the largest surface area, to regulate it.

 

4. Expand blood vessels near the skin and release sweat on the skin to efficiently dissipate heat while maintaining body functions.

 

5. At this time, the autonomic nervous system causes sweating.

 

6. Experiencing excessive sweating to lower high core body temperature improves autonomic nervous system functions related to sweating, so that afterward, sweating occurs easily even with only a slight increase in core temperature.

 

7. The lowering of the temperature threshold at which sweating begins.

8. Especially, people whose physiques have become larger through regular exercise tend to sweat more easily.

 

Because having more muscle mass increases basal metabolic rate, leading to more heat dissipation and naturally resulting in increased sweating.

 

10. If you suddenly sweat excessively without any reason such as exercise or sweating, it could be a warning sign that something is wrong with your body.

 

11. Examples include hyperhidrosis and menopausal night sweats.

 

12. Sweating does not necessarily mean that exercise is effective. Sweat is only water loss and does not indicate loss of fat or muscle.
