Sweat Analysis
How much do you really sweat? And how much salt do you lose during exercise? With Perform2Achieve’s sweat analysis, you’ll discover exactly what your body needs to perform optimally. No more guesswork, but concrete advice on your hydration and sodium intake – tailored to your sport, climate and race duration.
Why have a sweat analysis done?
Cramps, performance loss or slow recovery can all result from improper hydration. Many athletes underestimate their fluid and salt loss during exercise. Thanks to our sweat analysis via MX3 sweat patches and the MX3 LAB system you finally get objective data about your:
- Sweat flow rate (L/hour)
- Sodium concentration in sweat (mg/L)
- Total sodium loss per hour (mg/hour)
- So together with our experts, you can create a personal drinking and salt plan, which you can easily apply during training or competitions.
Combine this test with a sweat and hydration analysis for complete insight into your body composition and fluid balance. Or couple it with an stress test to properly link your performance to your physical profile.
Your partner in performance and recovery
For whom is this sweat analysis useful?
Sweat analysis is particularly valuable for:
Endurance athletes such as triathletes, marathon runners, cyclists and trail runners
Soccer and team athletes Who combine peak performance and endurance
Athletes who play sports in hot and humid conditions

Even if you are recovering from an injury or returning to competition level, this analysis can help ensure a safer, faster rebuild. Also check out our pages onrehab testing and coaching for further follow-up.
How does a sweat analysis work?
Our approach is scientific but simple in design:
1. Intake & preparation.
You fill out a short questionnaire about your sport, environment, goals and any symptoms (such as cramps). Then together we determine the appropriate testing protocol (bike or treadmill).
2. Submaximal exercise test (30-45 min).
During this test, you collect sweat via MX3 sweat patches in a controlled manner.
3. Analysis via MX3 LAB
We accurately measure your sweat rate and sodium concentration. This gives us insight into your hourly sweat profile.
4. Report & personal hydration plan
You will receive a clear report with:
- Recommended drinking volume (ml/hour)
- Required salt intake (mg/hour).
- Concrete guidelines around sports drinks, salt capsules or nutrition
- Advice tailored to your sport discipline, duration and climate
Couple this test with other measurements
Do you want to know the total picture of your body? Then combine this test with an exercise test (VO₂ Max), a body composition measurement via DEXA Scan or our strength analysis via Force Frame. This way you get a complete and substantiated profile of your sports performance and risk factors.
