Key result
Postexercise sweating and skin blood flow responses to pharmacological agonists did not differ from resting conditions in young or older adults, though older adults had lower overall sweating.
Why the study?
Does a prior bout of exercise alter the sweating and skin blood flow responses to pharmacological agonists in young and older adults?
Population

Peripheral factors may modulate postexercise heat loss; leaves open age-specific mechanisms for larger prospective studies.

p-value: p=0.992
Peripheral factors do not appear to modulate postexercise sweating and skin blood flow in either young or older adults, though older adults exhibit overall impaired sweat gland function.
Stapleton et al. (2014) studied Healthy (n=16). Pharmacological agonists (ACh, MCh, SNP) postexercise vs. Pharmacological agonists at rest was evaluated on Sweat rate and cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) (p=0.992). Postexercise sweating and skin blood flow responses to pharmacological agonists did not differ from resting conditions in young or older adults, though older adults had lower overall sweating.
