Everyone sweats, but how many people know their sweat and knowthat their sweat is salty or intense, more/less?, the Sweat Concentration testis a test to determine the loss of sodium caused by sweating, the amount ofmilligrams of sodium that would be lost in 1 liter of sweat and was also givena sodium supplement plan during training and racing, this test is not a test todetermine the amount of sweat. Rate), but to know the concentration of sweat (Sweat Concentration testing can be done manually using the C+ (B-A) method.

• weight before exercise (A)

• weight after exercise (B)

• The amount of water consumed (C)

When you take the Sweat concentration test results and calculate them together with the Sweat Rate and the time taken, you'll be able to find the total amount of sodium lost over that period.

When we exercise, whether heavy or light our bodies all need to adjust and maintain a core temperature of 36.1-37.2 c through sweating, which is everyone's sweat contains different amounts of sodium and in different concentrations of marathon/trail races, of course, there must be running races over a long period of time, more than 2 hours if we ignore or don't know the sodium concentration in every liter of sweat and our sodium intake is only approximate. As a result, the result of the race is not as intended or may result in leaving the race.

• Outdoor worker

• Endurance Sport or people who play sports for more than 1 hour.

3 factors that make our sweat more / less

• kind of sport

• hot/cold weather

• the intensity or intensity of the athletes

3 types of Sports Drink we should know

• Isotonic (concentration close to blood)

• Hypertonic (higher concentration than blood)

• Hypotonic (less concentration than blood)

When should you drink Isotonic Drinks? Most isotonic beverages have a moderate carbohydrate concentration of 6-8% (1.5-2 times more than hypotonic) and are easily absorbedby the body, which commercially available energy drinks fall into thiscategory? Isotonic Drinks are beneficial when used for short duration &high-intensity exercise, when should I drink hypertonic drinks? an important characteristic of Hypertonic drinks is the high content ofcarbohydrates in the beverage to provide high energy suitable for intenseexercise should drink Hypertonic,  whenwe want to fill the body with energy first and should not drink when we want tofill the body with fluid first should drink Hypotonic? this drink is most easily absorbed by the body but at the sametime contains the least amount of carbohydrates should drink Hypotonic drinkswhen the most important thing is to replace fluids, such as prolonged exerciseand heavy sweating.
