What Is the Research Saying About Sweat and Salt Loss in Athletes?
Some of the research that caught my my eye early on was really the stuff looking at population data athletes. Some players required less than a teaspoonf of salt a day to replace their electroie needs. Another players needed like handfuls of salt to replace what they were losing, and gallons of fluid to go with it. You talk to scientists and a lot of them will understand that there is this huge inter individual variation. But then what i felt was, once ihad lifted the lid on that as an athlete, i thought, no one is doing a fantastic job, actually, of communicating this to the athlete population.
