出汗有助于減肥嗎?

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.

如果你在劇烈運(yùn)動(dòng)后汗流浹背，你可能會(huì)認(rèn)為你燃燒了更多的卡路里并減輕了體重。但這是真的嗎?事實(shí)證明，出汗并不影響你在鍛煉過程中燃燒多少卡路里。事實(shí)上，你的身體出汗只是有助于調(diào)節(jié)體內(nèi)溫度，防止過熱。

"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.

“出汗是我們在鍛煉或其他熱應(yīng)激中冷卻身體的方式，”肯塔基大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)院生理學(xué)系的教授Thad E. Wilson博士在接受《健康》雜志采訪時(shí)表示：“當(dāng)你的身體消耗一些能量出汗時(shí)，它不會(huì)顯著影響燃燒的卡路里數(shù)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?

雖然出汗可能是肌肉勞累和熱量燃燒的表現(xiàn)，但這并不意味著如果你不出汗就不能燃燒熱量。因?yàn)椴煌娜顺龊沟念l率不同，所以不同的人在做同樣的活動(dòng)消耗更多的卡路里時(shí)，可以出汗更少。那么，到底什么有助于減肥呢?

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.

重要的是要記住，你在運(yùn)動(dòng)中燃燒的卡路里數(shù)量取決于你的年齡和活動(dòng)水平。因此，在考慮減肥時(shí)，關(guān)注鍛煉的持續(xù)時(shí)間和強(qiáng)度，以及持續(xù)性和樂趣，會(huì)有所幫助。

"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."

認(rèn)證私人教練Jodi Cagle告訴Byrdie：“在給定的配速下，鍛煉的時(shí)間越長，消耗的能量就越多。但在給定的時(shí)間內(nèi)，鍛煉的強(qiáng)度越大，消耗的能量就越多。”。“對于任何有效的鍛煉計(jì)劃來說，最重要的是要記住找到你喜歡做的事情。堅(jiān)持不懈地做，做各種事情以最大限度地提高效率。”
