Brief Answer:
may or may not be related to a medical cause....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is normal to sweat while exercise. Amount of sweating is proportional to rise in body metabolism. While exercise, you would know heart rate and metabolism increases and that leads to various symptoms including sweating. You may sweat more than others in view of higher metabolism. If there are no other symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, anxiety, unusual palpitation and so on, the increased sweating may not be of any significant concern.

If you do normally sweat a lot even at rest, you may get a thyroid hormone checked.

Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.
