Figure 3

The synchronous nature of sweating across skin sites. Sweating during steady-state (passive) thermal loading at rest (air temperature 36°C, water-perfusion suit 40°C). Data are from one individual, collected using ventilated capsules (3.16 cm2: forehead, and the dorsal, plantar, medial and lateral surfaces of the foot; 1.40 cm2: dorsal toe). Curves have been adjusted vertically to reduced overlap and to highlight secretory synchronisation.
