The accurate prediction of sweat rate from energy expenditure and air temperature: a proof-of-concept study

This study demonstrates the feasibility of accurately predicting SR from energy expenditure and air temperature alone. Novelty Results demonstrate that accurate runner SR prediction is possible with knowledge of only energy expenditure and air temperature. SR prediction error was smaller than scale weighing error in 85% of observations. Accurate runner SR prediction could help mitigate the common risks of over- and under-drinking.
