Hello,

I am just curious. Why do people sweat more right after the vigorous excercise than during the exercise?

Lungs can release a lot of heat when exercising, deep breaths, exhaling a lot of water vapor (water vapor transports heat energy). AFter exercise, the breathing rate reduces, so the body then shifts to evaporation (sweating) to get rid of the excess heat.

Ah, OK. Thank you!

Hello! People often sweat more after vigorous exercise compared to during exercise due to a few factors. During exercise, your body temperature rises, triggering the sweat glands to produce sweat to cool down the body. However, the sweat that is produced during exercise starts to evaporate quickly due to the air movement and the heat generated from the physical activity.

After the exercise, when you stop moving, the body temperature remains elevated, and the sweat glands continue to release sweat to cool down the body. Since there is less air movement and your body is not actively generating heat, the sweat produced after exercise tends to accumulate on the skin rather than evaporating quickly. This accumulation of sweat leads to the perception of sweating more after exercise.

Additionally, the body continues to produce sweat as it tries to restore its internal temperature to normal levels. It takes some time for your body to cool down and for the sweating to subside after vigorous exercise.

In summary, people tend to sweat more after vigorous exercise than during the exercise itself due to the accumulation of sweat on the skin, the absence of air movement, and the body's attempt to restore its internal temperature.
