Re: [RC] [RC] Humidity & Sweating - Jean DiazThe part you may be missing is where the inefficiently cooled (that is, still overheating) body says "gosh, still too hot, better sweat MORE". I think that's what is going on, anyway. Ambar ----- Original Message ----- From: Kristen A Fisher <kskf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 24 May 2004 23:20:33 -0500 I didn't think that higher humidity causes more perspiration, it causes slower evaporation of that perspiration (making it look like more sweat than if it is arid/not humid because the sweat then evaporates rather than clings to your skin). So in effect wouldn't you/horse sweat the same amount at a certain temperature, but just less efficiently *cool* yourself/your horse in a higher humidity? ============================================================ In my experience (22 year worth) most endurance riders are great people who will go out their way to help and be friendly. ~ Laura Hayes ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================ ~ Darlene Anderson - DPD Endurance ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
