They are of great importance in sectors such as sports and healthcare, as they permit the continuous monitoring of physiological and biological elements, such as ECG and human sweat. Until recently, this could only be carried out in specialized laboratories in the presence of cumbersome, and usually, expensive devices. Sweat monitoring sensors integrated onto textile substrates are not only part of a new field of work but, they also represent the first attempt to implement such an innovative 606 $aSport clothes 606 $aSport clothes industry 606 $aAthletes$xTraining of 615 0$aSport clothes. 615 0$aSport clothes industry. 615 0$aAthletes$xTraining of. 676 $a621.381512 700 $aSalvo$b Pietro$01516916 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787557403321 996 $aWearable technologies for sweat rate and conductivity sensors$93753635 997 $aUNINA
