Description TriWild sweat test
Determine your individual salt and sodium requirements and optimise your athletic performance. Stick on the plaster, sweat and send it in - with this easy-to-use self-test, TriWild analyses your sweat and determines your individual sodium and salt content. You will receive recommendations on how to optimise your performance and regeneration.
With the TriWild test kit, you can determine your individual salt and sodium loss in sweat. Electrolytes and especially sodium as an important component of salt influence energy levels, fluid balance, susceptibility to cramps, heart and brain function and have a preventive effect on hyponatraemia. It is particularly important that you adequately replace your salt and sodium loss during prolonged strenuous activity to prevent a loss of performance.
Determine your salt loss for:
- balanced fluid balance
- high energy levels
- optimal concentration
- cognitive function
What is a sweat analysis?
Sweat analysis is a diagnostic procedure in which an athlete's sweat is analysed for individual salt or sodium loss. This analysis provides information about the amount of electrolytes that the body loses during training or competition. By understanding the individual sweat profile, athletes can make targeted adjustments to their fluid and electrolyte supply.
Why is sweat analysis important for athletes?
The sodium concentration in sweat can be precisely determined with easy-to-use patches. This measurement shows how much sodium the body loses per litre of sweat. This sodium value can vary from person to person and is typically between 175 and 2300 mg per litre of sweat.
The result is key to better understanding and planning sodium requirements during intense exercise. Sodium is the most important electrolyte and the main component of sweat. Individual differences play a major role and should be taken into account in order to:
1. minimise electrolyte loss: Too much sodium loss can lead to muscle cramps and fatigue.
2. avoid overhydration: Excessive drinking without electrolyte balance can lead to hyponatraemia.
3. prevent loss of performance: Fluid and electrolyte deficiencies affect endurance and strength.
Tailored hydration based on sweat analysis helps to maintain fluid balance and maximise athletic performance.
How to
1. cleaning and disinfecting
Wash your hands with soap and disinfect your forearm with the enclosed wipe
2. apply the plaster
Stick the plaster on the forearm
3. exercise and sweat
Exercise for approx. 1 hour until the absorbent part of the plaster is wet from sweat
4. remove the plaster
Remove the plaster and roll it up so that the absorbent part of the plaster is on the outside. Avoid direct contact with the absorbent part of the plaster.
5. secure the sample
Carefully insert the plaster into the tube and seal it airtight.
6. send in
Send the sample together with your completed personal details to TriWild
7. results
After the sweat analysis, you will receive an e-mail with the test results and recommendations for optimising performance and regeneration.
