Why do I sweat more than others when exercising?

Nowadays, people around us pay more and more attention to their health. More and more people do morning exercises, and more people dance and do exercises in the evening. We all want to make our bodies healthier, but with more exercise, problems arise. Sweating occurs in every exerciser, but how much sweat should we sweat? Is it normal for everyone to sweat more than others when doing the same exercise? Let’s take a look at why we sweat more than others when exercising.

It is understood that there are about 3 million sweat glands distributed in the human body. Sweat glands are tubular structures composed of a single layer of epithelial cells. One end of the sweat gland is the secretory part, which secretes sweat; the other end is the excretory part, which opens directly to the skin surface and is called the sweat pore. The secretion of sweat regulates body temperature and also discharges some metabolic waste. Under normal circumstances, sweating is a reflex activity, and the secretion of sweat glands can be caused by thermal stimulation or mental stress.

Many people think that you should sweat profusely after exercise. If you don't sweat, you can't achieve the purpose of fitness. However, Coach Huang from the China Sports Club explained: Generally speaking, the greater the intensity of exercise, the more you sweat. But the amount of sweating varies from person to person.

First, sweat depends on the secretion of sweat glands, and the number of sweat glands not only varies by gender, but also by individual. Second, the amount of sweating also depends on the body fluid content. Some people have more body fluids, so they sweat more during exercise.

The amount of body fluid is determined by the body fat content. Because adipose tissue contains relatively less water, fat people have less body fluid than thin people. Although fat people sweat more during exercise, their ability to tolerate water loss is relatively poor. Therefore, fat people will feel very tired after a short period of exercise.

Whether or not you drink water before exercise also affects sweating. If you drink a lot of water before exercise, it will lead to an increase in body fluids and increase the amount of sweating. Secondly, it also depends on the individual's physical fitness. People with strong physiques have healthier muscles and motor organs, so even if they do high-intensity exercise, it is effortless and they naturally sweat less. On the contrary, people with poor physical fitness will sweat profusely after a little activity.

Therefore, sweating more does not necessarily mean better exercise results. Some sweat-free exercises, such as walking and cycling, can also help prevent or reduce various chronic diseases. Those who sweat profusely after a little exercise need to go to the hospital for a check-up.

After reading the above introduction, you will understand why you sweat more than most people during exercise. Sweating is related to many factors, such as personal factors and external factors. In fact, sweating is not necessarily a good thing. If you sweat a lot without exercising, you should consider whether there is something wrong with your body. Therefore, if you feel that your normal sweating amount is abnormal, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time.
