Sweat Rate Analysis
Athletes regularly encounter dehydration during training and competition, especially with increasing exercise duration and temperature. Losses as small as 2% of body weight due to dehydration have been shown to impair performance, with 5% loss of body weight found to decrease the capacity to perform work by up to 30%.
Calculation of sweat rate and sodium and electrolyte losses enables Intune Sports and Health’s Sports Dietitians and Sports Scientists the ability to determine your optimum fluid intake (rate and electrolyte balance) to help ensure your body maintains physiological homeostasis for peak performance and recovery. As fluid intake is important for recovery and minimising heat stress, optimising your fluid intake is just as important during everyday training as it is during a race.
