Review summarizes how biological traits and environmental factors affect sudomotor function and thermoregulation.

This review explores how sweating is influenced by biological traits, environmental conditions, and individual behaviors.
Synthesis of evidence from existing studies about sudomotor function
Examination of biological, environmental, and individual factors
Analysis of effects of exercise training and dermatologic conditions on sweating
Short-term acclimation enhances sweat gland sensitivity, increasing output during heat stress.
Long-term acclimation suppresses sweating to conserve fluids, reducing responsiveness.
Younger individuals show higher gland density but lower output per gland compared to adults.

Na et al. (2026) studied this question.
