Validity of Smart Cap and Smart Sweat Patch
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Fluid Intake in Athletes, Sweating Rate in Athletes, Sweat Chloride Concentration in Athletes
In brief
The main objectives are to determine the validity of a Smart Cap in measuring fluid intake during running and fitness exercise and the validity of a Smart Sweat Patch in measuring sweat rate and sweat chloride concentration during outdoor cycling, running, and fitness exercise. A secondary objective is to compare regional sweating rate and sweat electrolyte concentrations (sodium, chloride, and potassium) on contralateral arms with vs. without tattoos.
