    Sweat Rate Calculation

    To calculate an athlete's sweat rate, their pre-exercise body weight is subtracted from their post-exercise body weight and fluid intake. This value is then divided by the exercise time in hours. Comparing an athlete's pre-and post-exercise body weights is a simple way for them to focus on hydration, as weight loss means they need to drink more. Weighing athletes before and after activity provides immediate feedback on their fluid intake and allows modifications to rehydration based on findings.

    Sweat Rate Calculation

    Formula for Calculating Sweat Rate


    Calculate each athlete's sweat rate (sweating rate = pre-exercise body weight - post-exercise
    body weight + fluid intake - urine volume/exercise time in hours) for a representative range of
    environmental conditions, practices, and competitions.

    The simplest way to get athletes to focus on their hydration needs is to teach them to compare
    preexercise and postexercise body weights. If the athletes lost weight, they need to drink more
    at the next practice. This gives the athletes immediate feedback about their drinking habits.

    A simple way to assess fluid means would be to weigh the athletes before and directly after
    activity, and then modify rehydration based on findings. If weight loss, hydrate more. If weight
    gain, hydrate less.
