  Why do we sweat during exercise?

  Sweating during exercise is completely normal – and even vital for survival. During training, the body produces heat, which it dissipates through sweating. Sweat cools the skin by evaporative cooling and thus protects us from overheating.

  Around two to four million sweat glands on the skin ensure that our body temperature remains constant. Without this cooling system, we wouldn't be able to stay efficient during training.

  Sweating: Athletes vs. Non-athletes

  A widespread misconception: "Athletes sweat less." The opposite is true. Those who are trained usually sweat faster and more – but also more efficiently.

  👉 Why?

  • Trained sweat glands react faster to stress.

  • The body cools down earlier and lasts longer.

  • Fewer minerals are lost, which improves performance.

  This means: Sweating during sports is not only normal but also a sign of good fitness.

  Tips against excessive sweating during sports

  Even though sweating is healthy, it can be unpleasant – especially with excessive sweat flow. With these tips, you stay fit and feel more comfortable:

  1. Drink enough
     – Ideally 1 hour before training, and if needed, also during.
     – Isotonic drinks or lightly salted water help to compensate for mineral losses.

  2. The right clothing
     – Breathable sportswear directs sweat outward.
     – Avoid synthetic fibers in everyday life that can intensify sweat odor.

  3. Pay attention to skin care
     – Shower after training and gently cleanse the skin.
     – Avoid exfoliations before using antiperspirants.
