If you are like many of us, you wonder “why do I sweat so much when I exercise” and “what is the best way to keep sweat out of my eyes”. While sweating is natural, excessive sweating whether you are working out, playing sports or cycling, can be distracting and embarrassing.
Why do I sweat so much when I exercise?
First, let’s understand some of the factors that determine how much you sweat:
-
Environment: Temperature and humidity can raise the body’s core temperature. The body reacts by generating sweat to cool down.
-
Activity: The intensity of your activity will impact sweat saturation. Think about the difference between walking on a treadmill and running on a treadmill.
-
Body Composition: Your body mass index (BMI) is an indicator of your body fat percentage. People with a lower BMI, higher fitness level tend to start to sweat earlier in a workout, while people with a higher BMI tend to see a higher quantity of sweat.
-
Hydration Level: Proper hydration is essential. Water is crucial to your body being able to generate sweat, and conversely a rigorous workout can lead to dehydration and in extreme cases passing out.
-
Medications, Hormonal Changes, Diet, Genetics and Medical Conditions can all effect your levels of sweat and should be discussed with a medical professional or nutritionist.
