Why do we prespire so much in humid weather?
This is puzzling me a lot.
During the hot humid weather there is lots of moisture in the air surrounding us. The air is almost saturated with moisture. Despite this we loose lots of body fluid through our skin in the form of prespiration.
This saps a lot of energy and we often get cramps due to dehydration while playing and we get tired very soon while running!
Conversely, during the Hot & dry months when the air is very dry and there is not much moisture in the air, we don't loose so much body fluids through our skin! Therefore we don't get so much dehydrated. But as per layman's logic the dry air should have sucked more fluids from our body and make us more tired!
Can someone explain me the scientific reason why this is so?
RICE is used usually in Ankle sprain etc but doesn't help much in Tennis Elbow:-)
Thanks for inviting guys, I am not much of a sports person. I am better as a sport watcher than player.
Good Morning Everyone ....
We can play tennis on WII sports, less stress, and inside with air conditioning. US sports medicine specialists seem to like RICE when it comes to tendinitis;
R- Rest
I- Ice ( hard to find in Doha) ;)
C- compression ACE wrap
E- elevate, means keep above the heart
Because Human body composed of 75% water.
totally agree with rishimba,
drmana why don't you join us for a tt on thursday night.... :)

elbow strap (as edifis suggested) will help in the recovery process as well.
rishi, you may need one or two shots of corticosteriod injections on the tendon site. This along with proper physiotherapy and rest for sometime heals all the minor cases.
Surgery is an option only in chronic cases if this doesn't help.
Dear Mr. Dracula....
"REal Tennis" and NOT "Natural Tennis" is the way to go..
Please see the following: http://www.irtpa.com/index.php/realtennis/about_realtennis/
Thank You!
Then you can use an elbow strap.
drmana,
i restrained myself from tennis for some years but now in qatar i have started again...i love the game so much, but the damn elbow would get painful again and again..:(
edifis, i dont have that much money that i would go to UK and get operated..;(
jack, i am practising back-hand now for tomorrow..:)
Where is Lincoln Pirate ??
Dracula...that was interesting...wow...those guys seem to be playing well with it...
Drac those racquets are for rhe naturists!
Ah Rishi!... one chink in your armour...I will keep feeding your backhand side :)
Ask sachim. He is expert on this matter
Look guys the new bag worked! I managed to impress someone atlast!
Jackye, buy a Natural Tennis Racket
www.naturaltennis.com
It has two handles so you can hit with two hands off both sides comfortably.
I personally haven't played with it, but I'm interested to see Jackye playing with this racket! :P
rishi, have you already tried rest along with oral anti-inflammatory medicines?
drmana, i got a tennis elbow when i was bowling with a higher weight ball than suggested..
do you have any suggestions to treat tennis elbow...it comes to me while making back-hand shots.
Good...thanks guys now I can use 2 racquets at the same time....
edifis...I was thinking about roosters... now it occurred to me that its shuttlecock you refer to... :(
Lol edifis, you already impressed me by saying that :-)
Drmana, I am looking forward to impress you with my Fedex Courier looks!
rishi, never played tennis in my life.....I don't think I can now :-)
drmana...there are pretty girls in micro-mini skirts......we make it a point not to look at them ;)
jack, i have two raquets now...you can take one.
drmana, come down for some shots..
In case you don't know what a bat-minton is: It's a sport where you swat bats instead of cocks!
Dracula ...lol ...you should see me serve...lol
Yes Jack, now you can use the old raquet for bat-minton.
New bag, new raquet, pro-look.....Do you guys go there for the game or impress someone with all those things? :-)
edifis,
i want to add one more thing...
we tend to drink more water during hot dry days as our throat becomes dry as well, thus we generally dont get de-hydrated.
on the other hand, if the atmosphere is moist, the feeling of thirst is less but the body sweats out at the same rate. since we dont drink that much water, our body becomes dehydrated before we realise.
we should watch our piss...take water if it starts getting coloured.
jackye: "bla..bla..bla.." :P
Tomorrow I will buy a new raquet ...for sure... I am loosing the games because of my old raquet...you see..
Oh Yes! I have a new Wilson Kit Bag now. I will turnup looking like a Pro!
Are we still on for the Lawn Tennis tomorrow?
Edifis...your question has me in turmoil...lol
Mother Nature Edifis...Regarding God I am agnostic.
Ol rite, i haven't got a survey f ds... but i assume dt 90% f d world's population doesn't knw abt QL.
Shapil you mean God pee on you?
rishimba: English only in the main forum
because the nature is pissing on us via humidity...and ur pissing back and your tshirt pays the price.
Thanks for the answers Drmana, WK & Rishimba.
jz only half?
rishimba: English only in the main forum :-P
edifis,
our body is made to sweat in warm environments so that we lose the latent heat of evaporation from our skin and thus cool ourselves...thats the nature's gift to us.
now, when the relative humidity is nearing the due-point, the rate of evaporation decreases as the atmosphere cannot take in more water vapour in itself. thus, the sweat remains on the skin and we feel the moisture on our body.
we feel enervated not because of the sweat but due to the lack of oxygen in our breath. this is due to high partial pressure of water vapour in the air which results in low partial pressure of oxygen in the inhaled air.
once we go to an AC environment, we become fine again..:)
half d world doesn't evn know about QL n mostly here you get different answers for a single Q'n.... so y not check d answer on a reliable source thru google?
Sweating is the same, in dry air sweat evaporates quickly. In highly humid conditions, air is already saturated with water content so can't take any more from your body.
But why then do we get more dehydrated during high humidity? It should have been the other way around!
Under conditions of high humidity, the evaporation of sweat from the skin decreases(as the air is already saturated with moisture) and thus the we feel sticky.
But in dry conditions, though we sweat as much as in humid condition the sweat evaporates quickly. Hence we don't feel sticky.
errr.......did I clarify your doubt convincingly? :-)
it's condensation
any scientist here? to explain this???
you will get the best answers in QL!
QL is better.
I wonder when people will realize how good a site google is... :-?
