Optimum hydration is important to achieve optimum performance - but how can you provide what YOUR body needs? 

That's where having a sweat test can help. Collecting and analysing a sample of your sweat will give you the knowledge to ensure your hydration addresses your specific needs. 

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 does a Sweat Test involve?

  • Sitting comfortably 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
  • A fuel & hydration plan for your next race (and access to the planning software for future races)

The Science behind Sweat Testing

A Sweat Test at our Brisbane centre is ideal for:

  • Athletes who struggle to perform in the heat, but can’t work out why
  • Athletes who struggle with cramp, particularly late on in races
  • Athletes who feel bloated, thirsty or have a dry mouth, or pee frequently during training and racing
