How Much Sodium is Lost in Sweat?
As a Texas endurance athlete, you are likely familiar with the effects of heat and humidity on your body. Electrolyte loss varies widely between athletes, ranging from 200-2,000 mg of sodium per liter of sweat. Your fluid and electrolyte replacement needs are unique.
While it is easy to plug electrolyte drinks, salt tablets, and gels into your fueling plan — instead of guessing as to what your body needs, there’s a better way.
Sweat Test for Athletes
The Precision Hydration Sweat Sodium Test is a one-time, non-invasive, non-exercise sweat test designed to give you the data you need to personalize your hydration strategy to optimize your performance and recovery.

Sweat Sodium Testing
Optimizing hydration requires an individualized approach including sweat sodium and sweat volume.
If you train or race in hot, humid conditions for longer than 60-minutes, consider this test a must-do. Heat and humidity increase your fluid needs and risk of dehydration leading to reduced blood flow to your working muscles, increased heart rate, and inability to train at high intensity. Knowing your body’s response and individual needs is a critical component to your race training.
This test is conducted in person for groups and teams.
Sweat Sodium Test Includes:
- In-person testing
- Recommendations on when, what, and how much to drink before, during, and after training/racing
- Recommended electrolyte strength based on your sweat sodium concentration
Investment: Varies based on group size & travel distance
