Sweating during exercise
Sweating helps cool your body during exercise. How much you sweat varies from person to person. When you lose a lot of fluid, it’s important to pay attention to hydration and, depending on the situation, electrolytes.
In short
Key takeaways
- Sweating is a normal cooling mechanism.
- Every athlete sweats differently.
- Warm weather usually increases fluid loss.
- Sweating more does not automatically mean better fitness.
- Hydration begins before training.
