Can anyone recommend a quality sweat testing service? I know I sweat a lot for my size based on my own self-tests. I know that I am also a very salty sweater based on salt streaks on my clothes, trisuit, skin, etc. after races or tougher or longer workouts. I want to know two things: (1) my sweat rate (as in actual amount of water or fluid loss); and (2) what and how much I am specifically losing in my sweat (sodium and other electrolytes).
Has anyone used a company for this type of sweat test? Did you finds the results informative? Did it help you plan for and be successful at future races because of a new hydration plan?
Thanks in advance for all responses. Happy training, racing or off-seasoning.
