Difference between sweat weight achieved from continuous pulsed current (sinusoidal versus triangular) in relation to continuous constant current showed a higher amount of sweat weight in sinusoidal pulsed current. p-value = 0.02. (Sinusoidal pulsed current) N = 49; 34.63 ± 54.02; 28 (− 58 to 231); 19.12 to 50.15; (Triangular pulsed current) N = 180; − 0.96 ± 85.99; 1 (− 364 to 434); − 13.6 to 11.69. Data are presented in legend as: number of individuals; mean ± standard deviation; median (minimum to maximum); confidence interval for the mean value; and in figure as median (black line) and 95% confidence interval (green line). Statistical analysis conducted through Mann-Whitney U test of independent samples. Alpha = 0.05. The sweat weight is shown as milligrams
