Estimate your sweat rate: New free tool!

As a sports dietitian specialising in triathlon, one of the key elements I focus on with my clients is hydration strategy. Hydration plays a critical role in performance, and understanding your sweat rate is key to optimising your fluid intake.

Recently I was lucky enough to sit down with Lindsey Hunt, a senior sports scientist at Precision Fuel and Hydration, to discuss his work in this area and the great new tool that came from it. With an impressive academic background and hands-on research in human thermoregulation, Lindsey's insights are invaluable for athletes looking to fine-tune their hydration strategies.

Lindsey's research primarily focused on whole-body sweat rate prediction in both indoor and outdoor running and cycling. This involved numerous exercise trials with a broad cohort of participants to gather a comprehensive understanding of sweat rates across different conditions.

The culmination of this research is the sweat rate calculator, a free tool that helps you tailor your hydration strategy to meet your unique needs and perform at your best! It’s incredibly accurate, particularly indoors, where predictions were exceptionally close to actual measured sweat rates. Outdoors, the accuracy remained commendable, with predictions mostly within 400 millilitres per hour of actual measurements.

So, once you get your numbers, what do you actually do with this information?

Well, the way you use your sweat rate data depends on the specific event and environmental conditions you’re facing. Consider a 10k run as an example. Depending on the location and temperature, you might need only a minimal amount of fluid replacement to maintain performance and health.

However, for endurance events like a half marathon or longer, it's essential to replenish a substantial portion of the fluids lost through sweat. As the duration, intensity, and heat increase, so does the percentage of fluid replacement that is necessary.

However, it's critical to remember that the sweat rate calculator isn't a fluid replacement guide. You'll want to combine this data with your understanding of electrolyte needs, particularly salt intake, to avoid potential issues like hyponatremia during long duration events.

Key Takeaways for Triathletes:

  1. Know Your Sweat Rate: Before adjusting your fluid strategy, ensure you understand your sweat rate. This involves some trial and error during training sessions to find what works best for you.
  2. Consider Event Duration and Environment: The longer and hotter the event, the more aggressive your fluid replacement strategy should be. Don't fall into a one-size-fits-all approach; tailor it to the event specifics.
  3. Balance Fluid Intake with Your Needs: It’s not just about chugging water. Overhydration can be as detrimental as dehydration. Aim for a balanced intake that aligns with your calculated sweat rate.
  4. Plan Ahead: Use training sessions to test and perfect your hydration strategy, so on race day, you know exactly what your body requires.

Understanding your body’s sweat rate and how to manage it can prevent dehydration, reduce the likelihood of cramping, and overall optimise performance during your races. Stay hydrated and race smart!

Why You Need to Stop Weighing Yourself with Gary Slater

Hey you! Put the scales away and listen up!  Many triathletes are interested in measuring their body composition. Whether it’s losing body fat or gaining muscle. Endurance athletes strive to be leaner, lighter and faster because you have to carry your weight across a long distance.  One of the major challenges with this is actually trying to track and measure body composition change. You’re probably using the scales as a way of measuring. but this episode explains why there are major limitations to the scales.  Listen in to my conversation with body composition manipulation expert Gary Slater. Gary is a fellow Advanced Sports Dietitian, Exercise Physiologist and loves using himself as an n=1 experiment for maximum muscle hypertrophy gains.  Gary explains why you need to stop relying on the scales and what to do instead if you want to really track changes in your body composition.    LINKS: Website: www.dietitianapproved.com To work with me 1 on 1: dietitianapproved.com/services Join the Triathlon Nutrition Academy Program: dietitianapproved.com/academy Instagram: @Dietitian.Approved @triathlonnutritionacademy Facebook: facebook.com/DietitianApproved The Triathlon Nutrition Academy is a podcast by Dietitian Approved Support the showSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
