A Precision Hydration Stationary Sweat Analysis is an evaluation of the composition of your sweat. You’ll learn the sodium concentration of your sweat and consult with a performance physiologist on how to optimize your unique hydration strategy.
Precision Hydration's sweat analysis offers a deeper understanding of sweat sodium loss, without the need of physical exertion. With this data, we provide guidance on how to effectively replenish lost sodium through proper hydration and fueling techniques.
You sit comfortably. We place two electrodes on the skin of your forearm. The electrodes are covered by discs that contain a small dose of Pilocarpine, which stimulates the sweat glands. Gentle currents of electricity slowly produce a painless, exertion-less sweat response at the point of contact (most people say it feels “tingly” or “prickly”), and then a collection nodule is placed to slowly absorb the sweat over 15-30 minutes until enough is collected for analysis.
Following the test, you’ll have a 30 minute consultation with a Master’s-level performance physiologist about your unique results and how to improve them.
Your Sweat Analysis results can react to climate conditions, heat acclimation/training, and exercise intensity. Discuss your season schedule and travel plans with your physiologist to determine the ideal time to check your data.

A Precision Hydration Sweat Analysis is built for endurance athletes and active individuals who want to take the guesswork out of hydration and fueling. Whether you are training for a race, preparing for hot conditions, or struggling with cramping, fatigue, or inconsistent performance, this test shows you exactly how much fluid you lose and how much sodium you need to replace so you can fuel with precision.
