Why do I sweat more doing static weight training than regular weight lifting?

Like doing three sets of plank, lunges or triceps and holding that position for 30 seconds rather than normal weight lifting (doing a certain amount of repetitions). I did this today during my training (holding the same position for 30 seconds three times) and sweat a lot more than when doing the normal weight training, so I was just wondering. Thanks!

1. Usually one would sweat more with movement involved. Sweat has 2 functions, (1) to keep you cool and (2) removing waste products and other unwanted junk from your body.
