The more you sweat while riding, the better the fat burning effect?

We believe that a sentence has inspired many people: “sweating is the tears of burning fat”, so that we always take the amount of sweating after riding as the evaluation of sports effect, especially after riding, looking at a wet clothes, we always have a sense of achievement, feeling that it is not sweat, but real fat! Xiaobian also asked many riders around him, what do you think of the relationship between cycling and sweating? Most people think that the exercise effect of sweating more will be better than that of the person who doesn’t sweat much, especially in burning fat.
So is that really the case? The more you sweat while riding, the better the fat burning effect? 01 why does the body sweat? Sweating is a way to regulate body temperature.
To put it simply, it is to dissipate heat.
In a quiet state, the body starts sweating when the ambient temperature reaches about 30 ℃.
If the air humidity is high, the temperature of 25 ℃ can cause sweating.
During exercise, because the body produces a lot of heat and the temperature rises, the amount of perspiration tends to increase sharply in order to dissipate heat.
Exercise will cause the body to produce more than ten times as much heat as when it is quiet.
Naturally, the increase in heat generation will also strengthen the heat dissipation.
In order to increase the heat dissipation, the skin blood vessels will relax, the blood flow speed will speed up, and the skin blood flow will also increase, resulting in a large increase in sweating.
Therefore, sweating a lot only means that your body is really hot and you need to control temperature through sweating, which does not necessarily mean that you are reducing fat.
02 sweating more ≠ good fat reducing effect 99% of the sweat is only water, the other components are sodium chloride, and a small amount of metabolic wastes such as potassium chloride and urea.
Fat will not be discharged with sweat.
Sweating is only a way for the body to evaporate and dissipate heat.
The amount of sweating is affected by the temperature and humidity of the environment, exercise intensity, personal constitution and other factors.
For example, the sweating method like sauna sweat steaming, in addition to rapidly reducing body temperature, has not had much positive impact on all parts of the body, and will not burn fat.
Another example is that many people exercise in sweaty clothes, thinking they can lose weight quickly, but in fact, this only increases sweating and heat dissipation by hindering other ways of heat dissipation.
Some people may find weight loss after exercise.
In fact, this is only a temporary phenomenon caused by water loss in the body.
Once enough water is added, the weight will come back immediately.
Moreover, long-term wearing sweaty clothes may cause dehydration and health problems.
Therefore, the effect of sweating ≠ fat reduction is good.
Weight loss is the process of reducing fat content in the human body.
People consume fat in the body through exercise to achieve the effect of weight loss.
Sweating a lot only means that the body is really hot and needs to control temperature through sweating.
The amount of sweating does not represent the amount of fat consumed.
Naturally, it cannot be said that the weight loss effect is better.
This is just a good wish.
Of the metabolites of human fat, 84% are excreted by respiration and 16% are excreted by body fluids, including sweat, but the proportion is very small.
Generally, the greater the load and the longer the duration of riding, the better the fat burning effect and the greater the amount of perspiration.
However, the amount of perspiration does not mean the good or bad fat burning effect.
It is also related to many factors.
03 what are the factors that affect the amount of perspiration? Whether the body is prone to sweating and the amount of sweating are highly related to the current state of the body, ambient temperature, skin blood flow and blood flow velocity.
For example, it is not easy to think of sweating outdoors in winter, but in summer, it is often sweating without moving, which is caused by different ambient temperatures.
In addition, gender and genetic factors also affect the amount of sweating.
The activity of human sweat glands is different.
Women have more sweat glands than men, but men have more active sweat glands than women, and there are also great differences among individuals of the same sex.
This explains that some of us don’t sweat too much during exercise, while some people seem to have fished it out of the water after warming up.
Some people who have more body fluid will sweat more during exercise, and vice versa.
In addition, it also depends on the physical quality of the individual.
People with strong physique will sweat less naturally, even if they exercise with greater intensity.
On the contrary, people with poor physique will sweat profusely if they move a little.
You should have a degree of sweating when riding.
You should have a degree of sweating in everything.
Sweating is not uncontrolled.
The more you sweat, the better.
If you sweat a lot during exercise, your body fluid will be reduced.
If you do not replenish your fluid in time, it will lead to decreased blood volume, accelerated heart rate, decreased perspiration rate, decreased heat dissipation capacity, increased body temperature, electrolyte disorder and acid-base balance disorder.
And can easily cause dehydration, and even heat stroke in severe cases.
The body produces 20 times as much heat during vigorous exercise as during rest.
Without an efficient heat dissipation mechanism, the body temperature will rise rapidly.
The upper limit of human body temperature is about 43.3 ℃.
The body temperature may rise by about 0.6 ℃ every 5 minutes.
Therefore, it can be predicted that an athlete with insufficient water in his body may face the threat of heatstroke less than 1 hour after starting the exercise.
05 it is very important to learn to replenish water correctly when cycling.
Generally speaking, if you don’t sweat much, just replenish boiled water or mineral water.
Remember not to drink high sugar drinks such as carbonated drinks and fruit juice.
If you sweat a lot, it is best to supplement sports drinks or salt water containing electrolytes.
Do not drink boiled water alone when sweating heavily to avoid hyponatremia.
How much you lose, how much you make up.
How do you know the amount of sweat lost? Generally, according to the weight loss after sweating, ordinary people can also supplement according to the degree of thirst.
Should be a small number of times, do not drink too much..
