Is It Time for a Sweat Test?

This test is different from the tests that you read about in books and magazines that only measure fluid loss and estimate electrolyte loss. This test measures electrolyte loss directly by using a “Sweat Patch” that is taped to the skin and placed in a test tube for laboratory analysis. The results vary significantly. There can be 2 athletes with identical fluid loss but one can lose 5,000mgs of sodium and the other just 500mgs.

To register for your sweat test visit: www.ketfitness.com/services/ and scroll to the bottom of the page.
