Adaptations include decreases in HR, internal body temperature, skin temperature, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and sweat sodium and chloride concentrations, as well as increases in plasma volume and sweat rate.

Sweat rate. Sweat rate is a training adaptation. Thus we would say sweating is a trained response.

Yes, I have no doubt you are very sweaty. That doesn’t mean that sweatiness isn’t a trained response though.




Did you even read your own link? This says “increases in sweat rate” not decreases.

And if you read the study and look at the results, after the heat training the average “sweatiness” was higher, not lower.

The whole point of this debate was that you can’t train yourself to sweat less, and I am still right in that assertion.
