[en] Skin capacitance mapping (SCM) is an established real-time noninvasive
method useful in the assessment of sweat production. We
presently review and explore the sweat gland production following
a mild 10-min physical training on a cycloergometer. Sprouts of
sweat vapor are progressively increased by recruiting increasing
numbers of active sweat pores. An overall moisturization of the
stratum corneum ensues, and liquid sweat appears in a further step.
These aspects are conveniently assessed using SCM while blind
assessments of the skin surface water loss cannot distinguish these
functional features.
