Sweat Testing Analyzing
If the average athlete sweats between 28-48 ounces per hour, what's your sweat rate?
How much sodium do you lose in your sweat? Is it 400mg, 698mg or 1122 mg/hr?
Have you ever considered the value of understanding the sodium content in your sweat to help you precisely tailor your electrolyte and fluid intake to meet your individual training and race day needs?
Have you considered how much of a potential performance limiter it could be to not understand your individual hydration needs?
Sweat testing takes away the guesswork so that you can apply personalized sport nutrition hydration and fuelingg strategies to meet your individual needs in training and race day. Considering that dehydration is one of the two most feared performance limiters on race day (the other being GI issues), don’t leave your fueling and hydration to chance!
During exercise, especially in the heat, athletes severly underestimate fluid and carbohydrate needs and obsess over sodium needs. Seeing that an athlete's sweat rate (and composition) will change throughout the season, particularly in different environmental conditions and sport dependent, it's far too common that athletes will go into a race with a haphazard fueling plan resulting in low energy, dehydration, bonking, cramping and/or GI issues.
Sweat testing is a scientific approach to help you understand your individual hydration and electrolyte needs so that you can gain trust in your training and racing fueling and hydration strategies. By determining your individual needs (fluids and electrolytes) for your sport, a personalized fueling and hydration protocol can be developed to optimize athletic performance while keeping your body in good health.
Don't let electrolyte depletion, glycogen depletion and dehydration sabotage a potentially great performance by your body in training and/or on race day. Sweat testing is critical for maximizing you athletic potential and minimizing the risk for heat-related injuries and health issues.
