Precision Fuel and Hydration Sweat Test | Brisbane centre
Inspire Athletic is proudly the Brisbane sweat testing centre for Precision Fuel and Hydration (previously Precision Hydration).
We'd wager that you don’t pay much attention to your sweat loss during exercise? But you should. It's crucial to your performance.
Sodium is the key electrolyte you lose in your sweat and it’s crucial to your hydration status. The thing is, everyone loses a different amount of sodium in their sweat, from as little as 200mg of sodium per litre, to as much as 2,000mg/L. This is largely genetically determined and our at-rest Sweat Test can tell you how much you lose so you can dial in your hydration strategy.
What it involves
- Sitting comfortably for ~30-45 minutes whilst the Sweat Test kit stimulates a small patch of your forearm to sweat maximally and we collect a sample
- No needles, no exercise
What you learn
- Understand your sweat sodium concentration (in milligrams per litre of sweat), so you can tailor the strength of your drinks
- A detailed report and consultation with a hydration specialist
- A fuel & hydration plan for your next race (and access to the planning software for future races)
