Sweat inducement
We use special gel disc with a small painless current that opens up the eccrine sweat glands and induces sweating on the forearm.
Sweat collection
Once the site has began to sweat, we use the macroduct sweat collector to capture the sweat. This is the quickest and most accurate method of collection and is free from sample contamination.
Sweat profile analysis
The collected sample is then put through the Precision Hydration sweat analyser. This gives us your sweats/sodium concentration/L. Your results are available on the spot, along with your hydration plan.
Sweat Testing Service
We have found that most people have little idea about how much sweat they lose when performing at high intensity or when working in very hot and demanding environments. But you should. It’s crucial to your performance.
You’d be surprised that the amount of sweat /sodium lost can vary up to 15 times between seemingly similar individuals.
Everyone loses a different amount of sodium in their sweat, from as little as 200mg per litre of sweat, to as much as 2,000mg/l – this is largely genetically determined, meaning that you only ever need to be tested once.
This means that a ‘one-size-fits-all’, off the shelf approach doesn’t work when it comes to hydration.
We offer the Precision Hydration ‘at rest’ sweat test and personalised hydration plans and a mix of products that match how you the individual sweats.

Customer Reviews
What some of our recently tested athletes had to say.
Brendan Davies – 2018 UTA100 Champion
I’ve been racing domestically and internationally for over 10 years on the trail and ultra running scene and recently I have been having some cramping issues, which hasn’t really occurred before. Something had to be done!
I decided to get my Sodium loss rate tested to hopefully get to the bottom of the problem, and Shane was the man to do it, being a Western Sydney local he was willing to travel to a mutual location convenient for us both.
The test was done in under and hour, very simple and it provided me with a great understanding of the role that sodium and electrolytes plays in proper hydration and performance.
David Macmillan – Ultra Runner
Shane was great. I’ve always had issues post 20km on runs with huge abductor cramps but after seeing Shane and understanding what I need to replace these haven’t occurred again. Highly recommended for those that struggle with cramps or even just perform at your best.
