I wonder if there is such a person around you. When running 10 kilometers, you are already sweating profusely and your clothes are soaked, but your companion is only sweating slightly. Outsiders may even think that you are so weak!
In fact, does sweating a lot during running really have anything to do with physical weakness? Some people say that sweating a lot means that the body is detoxifying, and sweating a lot means that your body is in good condition. Is this really the case?
Let’s follow Xiaoman to understand why some people sweat a lot when running, but others don’t sweat much?
The amount of sweat a person sweats is directly related to the temperature and the sweat glands of the body. Some people are born to love sweating. This is a normal physiological phenomenon of the human body, so sweating a lot and “weakness” cannot be equated.
Some people asked: Is sweating a lot really detoxifying the body? This statement may not be completely correct. Most of the sweat we sweat after running is basically water, mainly inorganic salts and other components, and there will also be a small amount of toxins.
In addition, people with well-developed sweat glands are prone to sweating. If you run 10 kilometers in the summer, you will sweat profusely. However, if you sweat profusely even if you sit there without exercising, it may be an abnormal phenomenon. It may be due to excessive heat and dampness in the body.
What is the reason for less sweating? This is also related to many factors. For example, some people have good endurance, do not run as hard as they can, and do not produce load on the body, so they naturally sweat less.
However, some people have underdeveloped sweat glands or less fluid content. Of course, it is also possible that your physical condition is not good and some mechanisms in the body cannot function normally.
How much sweat is normal for normal people in a day?
Generally speaking, people sweat about 600 ml a day, which may be higher in summer, especially when running outdoors. When facing the sun, people with well-developed sweat glands may at least reach 1000~3000 ml, which is about the amount of 2~6 bottles of mineral water.
So here I would like to remind all runners that those who love to sweat when running outdoors in summer must pay attention to timely replenishment of water, especially electrolytes. If you fail to replenish water in time after sweating a lot, you are more likely to suffer from heat stroke and potassium deficiency, which is very bad for your health.
In short, the reasons why some people sweat a lot while running, while others hardly sweat, are nothing more than the following 4 points:
1. It is related to personal physique. If you run at the same pace with people with good physical fitness and strong endurance, others will be more relaxed than you, and naturally sweat less;
2. It is related to weight. People with fatter bodies have thicker fat and are not easy to dissipate heat, so they sweat more with a little movement.
3. It is related to personal sweat glands. The human body has about 2 to 4 million sweat glands, and people with more sweat glands are prone to sweating.
4. It is related to physical weakness, which is the so-called physical weakness, but this has little to do with running. People with physical weakness may sweat profusely when sitting in hot weather.
So is it better to sweat more or less?
If they are all physiological factors, they are all healthy, but if they are pathological factors, sweating a lot needs to be paid attention to!
We don’t need to worry too much about how much sweat we sweat when we run. We just need to deal with the sweat in time after running and ensure that the clothes are clean and smooth.
As a runner, do you sweat a lot when you run?
