Cómo funciona
- 1
Weigh yourself immediately before exercise, wearing minimal clothing.
- 2
Record your weight after exercise, towel-dried, with the same clothing.
- 3
Note the total fluid you consumed during the session in liters.
- 4
Subtract post-weight from pre-weight, add fluid intake, then divide by hours exercised.
((pre_weight - post_weight) + fluid_intake) / (duration / 60)Preguntas frecuentes
Why do I need to account for fluid intake?
Because you lose water through sweat, but drinking replaces some of it. Adding intake gives the true total sweat loss.
What if I used the bathroom during exercise?
For accuracy, avoid bathroom breaks or adjust for urine loss. Otherwise, the estimate may be slightly off.
How can I use my sweat rate?
Use it to plan hydration: drink roughly the same amount per hour during similar workouts to maintain fluid balance.

Fórmulas
Las matemáticas detrás de esta calculadora, escritas para que puedas verificar el resultado.
Sweat Rate
This formula estimates how much fluid you lose per hour through sweating, combining weight change and fluid consumed.
Example:
Input: Pre=70kg, Post=69.2kg, Intake=0.5L, Duration=1h
Calculation: (70 - 69.2 + 0.5) / 1 = 1.3
Result: 1.30 L/h
Casos de uso reales
Dónde aparece este cálculo en la vida cotidiana.
Hydration planning
Know your sweat rate to determine how much to drink during training or races.
Example: If you sweat 1.2 L/h, aim to drink about 1.2 L per hour.
Monitoring dehydration risk
Track changes in sweat rate over time to spot overhydration or dehydration patterns.
Example: A sudden drop may indicate heat acclimatization or illness.
Customizing nutrition strategy
Combine sweat rate with electrolyte needs to tailor sports drinks.
Example: High sweat rates may require extra sodium.
Consejos y errores comunes
Tips
- Weigh yourself on the same scale for consistency.
- Use the same clothing or subtract its weight for accuracy.
- Record fluid intake in liters, not cups, for precise math.
- Perform the test under similar conditions (temperature, intensity) for reliable data.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Forgetting to include fluid intake, which underestimates sweat loss.
- Using duration in minutes without converting to hours.
- Weighing at different times of day or with different clothing.
Supuestos y limitaciones
- Use the stated inputs and units.
- Results are estimates for planning and education.
- Check measurements and source data before making an important decision.
