Sweat-Rate Equationa
| Sweat loss (L) = Body mass before exercise (kg) – Body mass after exercise (kg) + (Volume of fluid consumed during exercise [L]) – (Urine volume, if any [L]) |
| Sweat rate (L/h) = Sweat loss (L) / Exercise duration (h) |
If body mass is assessed in kilograms and fluid consumed in liters, the sweat rate = L/h.
