do you sweat more when you're in shape?

according to the shameless marketing on this arrowhead water bottle, you do.

I first heard that claim from my 9th grade PE teacher, but being the bonehead she was, she probably just got the idea from an arrowhead water bottle.

I have to say, I don't believe it one bit because I never ever exercise and I sweat more than anybody I know.

fat people sweat all the time, so, i don't think so

You're capable of it, because your body is more efficient, but a fat person walking up stairs will sweat before a fit one.

NBA players are in full sweat after one or two trips down the floor. Skoorb got it right.

actually, yes. Don't remember exactly why, but it ha ssomething to do with muscle burning more fuel and your body becoming more efficient at cooling down (eg- sweating more)

I have first hand experience that you sweat like a mofo when you aren't in shape. Although I do plan to change this soon.

Difference between people that are in shape and sweat a lot and people who aren't in shape and sweat a lot is that the person whose in shape wont be tired even if he/she is sweating a lot while on the other hand the person whose out of shape would be half dead.

According to Shape magazine, it's right along those lines - your body anticipates the heat buildup that occurs from exerting yourself.
