Sweat Testing

Our Sweat Test will tell you how much sodium you lose in your sweat, so we can personalize your hydration strategy to optimize athletic performance. What we discover in this test is your sodium concentration level, not the volume of sweat, but the amount of sodium relative to the volume of sweat.

How salty your sweat is is largely genetically determined and can vary from as little as 200mg per litre of sweat to more than 2,000mg/l, so a one-size-fits-all approach to hydration just doesn't cut it!

Many athletes consume sodium based on time, distance, or how the body feels. You can get the job done this way (usually), but if you really want to perform at your peak, you need to dial in your hydration and fuelling.

Your sweat concentration level doesn't really change over time, so performing this test will be applicable and helpful to all of your training and events in the future.

During your session, you can expect:

Sodium concentration level - You will get this number through our test
Fluid loss
