Each activity exerts different demands on the body and can affect sweat levels. We have included a basic selection of sports that encompass high-aerobic to anaerobic activities. If your chosen sport or exercise is not listed here, simply choose the activity that most closely mirrors yours as far as physical demand.
Activities can dictate the type of apparel you wear and the type of gear you may be carrying. Typically, clothing adds insulation and increases your sweat rate. The addition of backpacks to Hikers increases the energy costs of locomotion and reduces the surface area available for heat transfer, thereby further increasing dependence on sweating to cool the body. Sports in which protective equipment is worn (eg, football) should ensure that frequent hydration breaks are implemented into a practice session since this type of equipment has also been shown to affect heat dissipation from the body during exercise.
