Variations in electrical resistance of the human skin affter certain physical activities, 1967
Thomas, Julian E.
1960-1969
The effects of physical activity such as postural changes on the electrical resistance of the skin were studied by the GSR method. This study indicated the role of the sympathetic innervation of sweat glands which produced a decrease in resistance when they were activated. Sweat production was apparently related to semi permeability and polarization phenomena, in that temperature was the basis for the sweating as a result of increased metabolism caused by activity and postural changes. Its a result of the investigations, an attempt was made to explain the reasons for variations in the electrical resistance of the skin.
