Study proves men perspire more than women

Sweating is an essential body mechanism which naturally cools us down. As we release fluid through our skin, it evaporates and this process takes heat from the body, lowering our overall temperature.

Researchers at Osaka International University and Kobe University in Japan found that men perspire twice as much their female counterparts.

Study details and findings
For the study, researchers examined 20 women and 17 men, nearly half of whom were fit or trained, cycling continuously at various intensities for an hour in a room heated to 30 C.
