Sweat Rate Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Sweat Rate (SWEAT):

\[ \text{SWEAT} = \frac{\text{WB} - \text{WA} + \text{WI}}{\text{T}} \]

Where:

\(\text{SWEAT}\) is the Sweat Rate (lbs/hr)
\(\text{WB}\) is the Weight Before Workout (lbs)
\(\text{WA}\) is the Weight After Workout (lbs)
\(\text{WI}\) is the Water Consumed During Workout (lbs)
\(\text{T}\) is the Total Workout Time (hrs)

What is Sweat Rate?

Sweat Rate is a measure of the amount of sweat lost during a workout. It is calculated by considering the weight before and after the workout, the water consumed during the workout, and the total workout time.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Weight Before Workout (WB) = 150 lbs
Weight After Workout (WA) = 148 lbs
Water Consumed During Workout (WI) = 2 lbs
Total Workout Time (T) = 1.5 hours

Step 1: Use the formula:

\[ \text{SWEAT} = \frac{150 - 148 + 2}{1.5} = \frac{4}{1.5} = 2.67 \]

The Sweat Rate is 2.67 lbs/hr.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Weight Before Workout (WB) = 180 lbs
Weight After Workout (WA) = 177 lbs
Water Consumed During Workout (WI) = 3 lbs
Total Workout Time (T) = 2 hours

Step 1: Use the formula:

\[ \text{SWEAT} = \frac{180 - 177 + 3}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \]

The Sweat Rate is 3 lbs/hr.
