出汗有助于减肥吗?

If you're drenched in sweat after an intense workout, you might assume you're burning more calories and shedding weight. But is this actually true? As it turns out, sweating doesn't affect how many calories you burn during a workout session (via Health). In fact, your body sweats to help regulate your internal temperature and to prevent you from overheating.

如果你在剧烈运动后汗流浃背，你可能会认为你燃烧了更多的卡路里并减轻了体重。但这是真的吗?事实证明，出汗并不影响你在锻炼过程中燃烧多少卡路里。事实上，你的身体出汗只是有助于调节体内温度，防止过热。

"Sweating is the way in which we cool the body during exercise or other heat stress," Dr. Thad E. Wilson, PhD, a professor in the department of physiology at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, told Health. While your body uses some energy to sweat, it won't drastically impact the number of calories burned.

“出汗是我们在锻炼或其他热应激中冷却身体的方式，”肯塔基大学医学院生理学系的教授Thad E. Wilson博士在接受《健康》杂志采访时表示：“当你的身体消耗一些能量出汗时，它不会显著影响燃烧的卡路里数量。”

Although sweat can be an indication of muscle exertion and thus calorie-burning, it doesn't mean you can't burn calories if you're not sweating. Because sweating occurs at different rates for different people, one person could burn more calories and sweat less than another person doing the same activity. So, what does help with weight loss?

虽然出汗可能是肌肉劳累和热量燃烧的表现，但这并不意味着如果你不出汗就不能燃烧热量。因为不同的人出汗的频率不同，所以不同的人在做同样的活动消耗更多的卡路里时，可以出汗更少。那么，到底什么有助于减肥呢?

It's important to remember that the number of calories you'll burn during an exercise varies depending on your age and activity level (via Byrdie). Therefore, when thinking about weight loss, it can help to focus on the duration and intensity of the workout, as well as consistency and enjoyment.

重要的是要记住，你在运动中燃烧的卡路里数量取决于你的年龄和活动水平。因此，在考虑减肥时，关注锻炼的持续时间和强度，以及持续性和乐趣，会有所帮助。

"For a given pace, the longer you work out the more you'll burn. But also, for a given duration, the more intensely you work out, the more you'll burn," certified personal trainer Jodi Cagle told Byrdie. "The most important things to remember for any effective workout program is to find things you enjoy doing. Do it consistently and do a variety of things to maximize effectiveness."

认证私人教练Jodi Cagle告诉Byrdie：“在给定的配速下，锻炼的时间越长，消耗的能量就越多。但在给定的时间内，锻炼的强度越大，消耗的能量就越多。”。“对于任何有效的锻炼计划来说，最重要的是要记住找到你喜欢做的事情。坚持不懈地做，做各种事情以最大限度地提高效率。”
