Gatorade Heat Tent & Sweat Testing

Monday, 08 October 2012

As the temperatures are starting to warm up, it is timely to remind all athletes and coaches that with our Gatorade heat tent facilities, we are able to conduct sweat testing and analysis.

As we come in to the warmer months, understanding what type of sweater you are and preparing appropriate strategies for hydrating and recovering will be a critical part of performing at your best. By undertaking a sweat test and analysis we will be able to provide you with advice about how you sweat and the level of electrolytes being lost in your sweat; this information should form the basis of your overall hydration strategy.

As part of our agreement with Gatorade, any VIS athlete can be sweat tested at no cost. If you would like to know more about the process, or would like to arrange to have your athletes tested please contact Simon Blundell on 9425 0021 or email simon.blundell@vis.org.au.
