Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to develop and describe a simple method to evaluate the rate of ion (mainly sodium) reabsorption of eccrine sweat glands in human using the measurement of galvanic skin conductance and sweating rate. Seven healthy non-heat-acclimated male subjects received passive heat treatment both before and after 7 days of cycling in hot conditions. We confirmed that the sweating rate threshold for increasing galvanic skin conductance was near the predicted sweating rate during passive heating before exercise heat acclimation, and increased significantly after training. These results suggests that the relationship between galvanic skin conductance and sweating rate can serve as a new index for assessing the maximum rate of sweat sodium reabsorption of eccrine sweat glands in humans. The method is useful, and of interest to thermal and exercise physiologists, and may add reliable information on sweat gland capacities to reabsorb sweated ions.
