Being a Fit Helps Women More than Men Stay Fit

A new research study from Japan has highlighted an important, yet often overlooked aspect of people trying to Exercise on a regular basis. If it is not very comfortable, it will be much more difficult to do! The study published in the journal of Experimental Physiology is the first to show that women who are starting an exercise program have a much more difficult time staying cool during exercise than to men, or fit women.

For the research study the scientist recruited four groups of people, men that were both fit and unfit, and women there were both fit and unfit. The researchers then had each person exercise on a bicycle starting at an easier rate and continuously making it more difficult until the final 20 minutes was at a very brisk pace.

During the exercise the researchers measured two very important factors, the amount of seat produced and the amount of sweat glands being used to produce that sweat. That data along with taking the individuals core temperature allowed the researchers to come to some interesting conclusions.

It turns out that the fit men, not surprisingly produced the most sweat and also used the most sweat glands to produce that sweat. However the first unexpected results were that the fit women also produced large amounts of sweat from an ample number of sweat glands. The research results then gave another twist when it was found the unfit men produced ample sweat, but that unfit women were unable to produce large amounts of sweat and their core temperature rose to a level that made the exercise uncomfortable.

The research, according to the lead scientist from Osaka University, may provide some of the first evidence as to why women often times have a more difficult time starting and staying with an exercise program then men. It is simply more uncomfortable for them! While future research from the group is looking at ways to increase the sweat rate in unfit women to hopefully make vigorous exercise more enjoyable, the researchers from Koby University who helped with the project note that lower intensity exercise where there is not as much heat produced as quickly, can be just as beneficial for weight loss and health, the women just need to exercise for longer periods of time. For example instead of using the vigorous exercise regime used in the study that lasted 45 minutes, the unfit women could exercise at half the pace for 1.5 hours and get the same results. Then over time increase the work rate if they desired as their bodies became better at cooling themselves off.
