Why do I sweat when playing CS:GO?

[mcmad358]

Alright, so basically I my pits get pretty sweaty when playing csgo even casually, its insanely annoying. I put on deodorant+antiperspirant but even a minute later I can feel a drop or two of sweat going down my arm. Its distracting and uncomfortable.

 

Whats up with this? It only happens in CS:GO, even casually playing DM and stuff...

Moving your arms is a serious workout? 

[Notree]

[GoldSrc]

It can't be that bad, or is it?

[MattTheMayor]

because every kill you get, you burn 5000 calories

Sympathetic nervous system activation.

"...the sympathetic nervous system can accelerate heart rate; widen bronchial passages; decrease motility (movement) of the large intestine; constrict blood vessels; increase peristalsis in the esophagus; cause pupillary dilation, piloerection (goose bumps) and perspiration (sweating); and raise blood pressure."

Nervous?

Sweaty?

Play CS:GO and you experience this super unflattering Phenomenon? Then try my new apparel the A/C anti-sweat shirt .....  :lol:

 

 

Seriously cant say man, i'm no Doctor.

Because your gaming skills are getting so xtreme you can't control your body's reaction to your kills

[manikyath]

adrenaline.

 

your body experiences the same "chemical" steps when playing an intensive game as when you are in a dangerous situation.

basicly, your heart rate goes up, pumping more oxygen to the important areas (brain, and muscles that finely control the fingers)

your body works harder, meaning it produces more heat, causing you to sweat.

 

or basicly what @ThomasD quoted from wikipedia

In CSGO there is enough adrenaline in my blood to get the world's laziest person running like Usain Bolt.

My hands get annoyingly sweaty while playing an intense game of rocket league. Try power dry deodorant. its the only thing that keeps my pits from releasing Niagara Falls

[RedSphyxis]

Here I am sitting here with palms that never sweat.

 

They have awesome advantages but really weird drawbacks.

 

My inability to sweat through palms makes them really dry giving me callous palms. Heck I even lotion my hands. *NoShameNoHomo

 

Yet I still have quite the callous palms.

Put some corn starch in your huevos and on your armpits. 

[MattLantis]

I mean its not even bout taking it seriously...

 

Like it happens when im playing deathmatch and wut knot

[mcmad358]

Admin can I have this stickied?

[Munken-]

As somebody that plays with you, you might need to settle down.

[Silyy097]

It also happens to me very often. On a normal basis I already have sweaty palms, so when im playing it just makes it a lot worse. Once a week I have to clean off the dried up sweat on my mouse.

 

Also my heartbeat will rise in clutch situations and I will not be able to play the next round.

Probably cause you're getting too involved with the game.  As mentioned above, you get nervous, adrenaline, etc.

 

You should train yourself to be cool as a cucumber while gaming.  I was playing CS1.6 daily for hours per day and a life lesson I learned from the game is that calm under pressure is far superior to twitching or flinching and playing more poorly.
