Question

Calculate the sweat rate (per 30 minutes of exercise) for the following individual: Sweat rate using ounces Male, 6"1, weight pre-exercise weight = 215 pounds, post-exercise weight = 203 pounds. Exercise session was 2.5 hours long. During his exercise session, he consumed 8 oz sport drink but took no bathroom breaks Sweat Rate is calculated as follows: Weight change + fluid intake - urine loss divided by time increment Weight change during exercise-pre-exercise weight - post - exercise weight - pounds lost as sweat (convert to ounces of fluid) Fluid intake = ounce of fluid drank during his exercise session. Urine loss = ounces of urine voided during exercise. Time increment = # of 30-minute increments in the exercise session. (remember to convert pounds lost to ounces (16.1 oz/pound for fluids) 40 oz/30 min 27 oz/30 min 80 oz/30 min 14.4 oz/30 min

Explanation / Answer

a. Body weight before exercise: 215 lbs

b. Body weight after exercise: 203 lbs

c. Change in the body weight (a-b) : 12 x16.1 =193.2 oz

d. Volume of fluid consumed : 8 oz +193.2 =201.2

e. Sweat loss (c+d) : 201.2 oz

f. Record exercise time: 2.5hrs

g. Calculate sweat rate (e/f) : 201.2/2.5 = 80.48 oz/hr

h. But according the options it given per 30 min. so 80.48/2 = 40.24/30 min

i. The correct option is 40.24/30 min. First option is the correct answer.
