Fitness Level and Sweating

Q:
How does fitness level impact the amount that a person will sweat?

A:
There are a number of factors that determine how much sweat a person will produce.  Some of these factors include:  gender, body composition, number of sweat glands, skin surface area, environmental conditions, and genetics.

Another factor is fitness level.  People that are in better shape are capable of sweating more and generally do.  The reason people in better shape are capable of sweating more is due to the fact that their higher fitness level allows them to do more physical work.

The more work you do, the more heat your body generates, and the more sweat you will produce to regulate body temperature.
