Why do I sweat more after getting off my bike than while on it? |
I ride my bike to and from work everyday and while I'm on it I feel fine and barely sweat. But as soon as I get off I feel extremely hot and find myself sweating up a storm. Why is this? Shouldn't I be sweating more *while* I'm exercising and not after? Best explanation I can come up with is the fact that when you are riding your bike, the air traveling around your body is taking the heat and sweat from your body. When you stop moving the air is no longer taking the heat away from your body and your sweat isn't evaporating as quickly and therefore you feel hotter and you seem to sweat more. You stop creating movement of air that causes the evaporation of sweat, which cools you while riding. cool down cycle..plus you have no wind blowing on you and you when you get off the bike are sweating because the body is conditioning itself so it doesnt over heat Your body is hot and it sweats to cool down. If you ride a stationary bike without a fan you will notice more sweating then if you ride a bike in motion outdoors. The air circulating around your body will cool you and evaporate sweat. If you are in a hotter climate you will sweat more too especially if your body has not had time to adjust to the increased temperature. It also depends on your level of elavation. Sea level, below sea level or above sea level. And it depends on how well hydrated you are, your sodium level, your metabolism and what you ate 24 hours before your ride. All of these factors can influence the sweat factor. I excercise 3-5 days a week and have ridden bikes indoors and outdoors. Diet before exercise seems to determine how much I will sweat. when your riding, your moving. you are sweating, but you feel the wind on you and it wicks alot of the sweat away. when your off your bike, you sweat like a pig because there is no moving air cooling you down. i no exactly how you feel I agree with the other answers in that the air is cooling you while riding. Your core temperature continues to be elevated after your workout for some time, though and your body id trying to cool it as quickly as possible. Drinking something cold will help with the cooling process by cooling from the inside while sweating is cooling on the outside. |
