What data is collected?
- Pre-exercise hydration level: A urine sample provided before exercise will determine if you are properly hydrated before exercise. Beginning exercise dehydrated (or over-hydrated) leads to decreased performance.
- Sweat rate and exercise hydration: We will determine how much sweat you lose while cycling and/or running at your goal race intensity. Sweat rate can vary greatly between individuals, and depends on your exercise intensity. We will also determine how well you hydrate during exercise.
- Sweat sodium concentration: You will be fitted with absorbent patches to measure sweat sodium concentration during exercise. Sweat sodium concentration can range from as little as 400mg per litre of sweat, to as much as 2000mg per litre.
- Carbohydrate intake: Depending on your sweat rate, fluid intake, sweat sodium concentration, and your current ability to take in carbohydrate, we will recommend a plan for carbohydrate intake.
How do I use the data?
- You will receive a feedback sheet with recommendations for pre-exercise hydration, hydration and fueling during exercise, as well as electrolyte and carbohydrate intake during exercise.
- You should continue to track your data during your training. You'll receive an individualized hydration & fueling worksheet, where you can track some of the same information that we collected during the testing, in order to continue to fine-tune your plan for race day.
