Study measure
GSP: measuring sweat by weight
GSP measures sweat by weight. Researchers weigh absorbent paper before and after it touches the skin for a set time.
- What it uses
- A measured amount of sweat
- What it shows
- objective sweat-rate measurement (mg over a defined interval)
How it works
The gain in weight shows how much sweat the paper collected. Researchers can compare that amount before and after treatment.
Why studies pair it with a survey
GSP measures sweat. A survey measures how sweating feels and how much it affects daily life. Using both gives a fuller view of change.
