You sweat to remove excess heat from your body. When the sweat evaporates off your skin it takes the heat energy with it cooling you off.
Sweating is a vital function of your body. It is the way it thermo-regulates itself. Sweat glands secrete fluids that will cool of your body in cases of extreme heat or as a reaction to stress. Sometimes sweat glands are overactive, and this is what creates excessive sweat problems. There are many facts on this condition on this website i came
across recently. Their book actually helped me out www.shelly-can.com

∙ 15y agoSweat or perspiration is a watery fluid excreted by the sweat (sudoriparous) glands of the skin of mammals. Sweat contains primarily water, but also salts and metabolic waste products-primarily sodium chloride, urea, lactic acid, and potassium ions (Blood et al. 2007). Sweat serves an excretory function for releasing excess water and waste products. In some animals, and in particularly humans, it also plays a role in regulating body temperature through evaporative cooling when the water in the sweat evaporates. The urocanic acid in sweat also may offer protection for the skin against ultraviolet radiation (Kent 2006).
Sweating (as well as perspiration) refers to the production, secretion, and evaporation of sweat. The importance of sweating varies between species.
Sweating is part of the intricate complexity of animals. In humans, it is part of a carefully coordinated process, controlled by the hypothalamus, to regulate body temperature. Furlow (2004) also summarizes some recent scientific evidence that molecules in the sweat from apocrine glands may be involved in a women's selection of a potential mate, guiding them toward those with genetically different MHC (major histocompatibility complex) profiles and ones potentially better for having healthy offspring.

I am positive it does. >> To qualify this...yes, during exercise you will be 'burning' fat, but the amount and rate of fat 'burnt' depend on your fitness level, your diet and the intensity of the activity your participating in. Sweat is just your body's way of cooling itself when it getting hot. During exercise or hard work, the increase in activity, and therefore the energy requirements of your body, cause an increase in temperature.
