For some people, summer is the time to head indoors to exercise. But others welcome the heat as a way to
sweat more and get a better workout.
Indeed, I’ve long regarded the sweatiness of my exercise sessions as a sign of how hard I was pushing myself. But
it turns out I’ve been wrong: How much you sweat doesn’t necessarily correlate with how intense your workout is or
how many calories you burn.
When your body temperature rises, your eccrine glands secrete sweat, and the evaporation of moisture from your
skin helps you cool off. Of course, sweating can occur for other reasons, such as stress or fear. That type of sweat comes
from the apocrine glands, which are located mainly in the underarm and groin.
How much we sweat during exercise is due to a number of factors, including gender (men tend to sweat more
than women) and age (younger people sweat more than older people) as well as genetics, temperature and humidity.
Weight plays a role as well. Larger people tend to sweat more, because their bodies generate more heat. Another
contributor is fitness level. Surprisingly, fit people tend to sweat sooner during exercise and more copiously than
those who are less fit. Research suggests that as your fitness level improves, your body’s heat-regulating system
becomes more efficient, cooling you down faster and allowing you to work harder.
Don’t be misled by the loss of a few pounds after a high-sweat workout. This is simply water weight that you
gain back when you rehydrate and doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve burned lots of calories. 【題組】

For some people, summer is the time to head indoors to exercise. But others welcome the heat as a way to sweat more and get a better workout. 對於一些人來說,夏天是去室內鍛煉的時候。 但其他人則歡迎炎熱,因為這是一種出汗更多、鍛煉效果更好的方式。

But it turns out I’ve been wrong: How much you sweat doesn’t necessarily correlate關聯 with how intense your workout is or how many calories you burn. 事實上,長期以來,我一直認為鍛煉時出汗是我對自己施加壓力的標誌。 但事實證明我錯了:你出汗的...

When your body temperature rises, your eccrine glands外分泌腺 secrete分泌 sweat, and the evaporation蒸發 of moisture from your skin helps you cool off. Of course, sweating can occur for other reasons, such as stress or fear. 當你的體溫升高時,你的小汗腺會分泌汗液,皮膚水分的蒸發會幫助你降溫。 當然,其他原因也可能導致出汗,例如壓力或恐懼。
That type of sweat comes from the apocrine glands大汗腺, which are located mainly in the underarm腋下 and groin股溝. How much we sweat during exercise is due to a number of factors, including gender (men tend to sweat more than women) and age (younger people sweat more than older people) as well as genetics, temperature and humidity. 這種汗液來自大汗腺,大汗腺主要位於腋下和腹股溝。 我們在運動時出汗的多少取決於多種因素,包括性別(男性比女性出汗多)和年齡(年輕人比老年人出汗多)以及遺傳、溫度和濕度。
Weight plays a role as well. Larger people tend to sweat more, because their bodies generate產生 more heat. Another contributor is fitness level. Surprisingly, fit people tend to sweat sooner during exercise and more copiously豐富地 than those who are less fit. 體重也有影響。 體型較大的人往往出汗更多,因為他們的身體會產生更多的熱量。 另一個貢獻者是健身水平。 令人驚訝的是,健康的人在運動過程中往往比不健康的人出汗更快,而且出汗更多。
Research suggests that as your fitness level improves, your body’s heat-regulating system becomes more efficient, cooling you down faster and allowing you to work harder. Don’t be misled誤導 by the loss of a few pounds after a high-sweat workout. This is simply water weight that you gain back when you rehydrate補充水分 and doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve burned lots of calories. 研究表明,隨著您的健康水平提高,您身體的熱調節系統會變得更加高效,讓您更快地降溫並讓您更加努力地工作。 不要被高汗鍛煉後減掉幾磅所誤導。 這只是您補充水分時獲得的水分重量,並不一定意味著您燃燒了大量卡路里。
