Fundamental Study of a Wristwatch Sweat Lactic Acid Monitor

A lactic acid (LA) monitoring system aimed at sweat monitoring was fabricated and tested. The sweat LA monitoring system uses a continuous flow of phosphate buffer saline, instead of chambers or cells, for collecting and storing sweat fluid excreted at the skin surface. To facilitate the use of the...

description A lactic acid (LA) monitoring system aimed at sweat monitoring was fabricated and tested. The sweat LA monitoring system uses a continuous flow of phosphate buffer saline, instead of chambers or cells, for collecting and storing sweat fluid excreted at the skin surface. To facilitate the use of the sweat LA monitoring system by subjects when exercising, the fluid control system, including the sweat sampling device, was designed to be unaffected by body movements or muscle deformation. An advantage of our system is that the skin surface condition is constantly refreshed by continuous flow. A real sample test was carried out during stationary bike exercise, which showed that LA secretion increased by approximately 10 μg/cm<sup>2</sup>/min compared to the baseline levels before exercise. The LA levels recovered to baseline levels after exercise due to the effect of continuous flow. This indicates that the wristwatch sweat LA monitor has the potential to enable a detailed understanding of the LA distribution at the skin surface.
