The More You Sweat, The Better You Run? What Might You Have Misunderstood

Many friends have a misunderstanding, that is, the amount of sweating and the effect of exercise, running out of a sweat, on behalf of today's running is very effective. Is that really the case?

Our body sweats because it is regulating its body temperature. We are warm-blooded animals. In order to regulate our body temperature, in order to lose heat, we sweat.

Is there a direct relationship between the running effect and the amount of sweat, we can carefully explore, where is the correlation between running and sweating?

The first point is that the reason why running will sweat has nothing to do with sugar metabolism in the body, and only has to do with controlling body temperature. When we run, the body must produce a lot of heat, and this heat comes from our body's three major energy substances.

Among them, carbon water is the most important substance, and the body heat is the energy released by the consumption of sugar in the body, a large part of which is not used by our body and becomes heat energy, resulting in a rise in body temperature.

We humans are warm-blooded animals, so the body must have a special system to control body temperature, of which skin sweating is a very important part, but it is not the only part.

In other words, if the weather is cold, you may run very well, but your body temperature will not rise, you will not sweat, because your body temperature will be lower because of the cold, but you just increase the heat energy by running. If this heat is losing heat at about the same rate as your body temperature, it will result in no sweat no matter how long you run.

Second, running dissipates energy in more ways than just sweating. There are many ways our bodies regulate body temperature, and there are many ways to lower body temperature and dissipate heat.

We are most familiar with sweat, in fact, not only sweat, including excrement, breathing, body contact with objects, can take away body heat, sweat is only one aspect, a relatively easy to observe the aspect.

The way to reduce body temperature, in fact, breathing is the most, reaching about 80%, and sweating only accounts for more than 10%. If you want to determine whether running is very effective, the most important thing to measure is the amount of carbon dioxide in your breath, not sweat.

Whether running has an effect, you should see if you are tired of running, and your own body feeling is the most important. If you put aside the body feeling and only look at the sweat amount, then you run on the treadmill in the sauna, the sweat amount is definitely the largest.

But this sauna is only to promote blood circulation, no matter how much sweat, will not achieve the purpose of exercise you want.

Every time you run, you should ask yourself whether you have run enough today, whether the mileage of running is reached, whether the speed of running is reached, and how your body feels.

Sweat can not represent the exercise effect, according to the plan of scientific exercise, will have the best results!
