For this Discussion, you will be performing a sweat test using the person you us
For this Discussion, you will be performing a sweat test using the person you used in the Unit 2 Discussion on macronutrient estimate/guesstimate.
Keep in mind a sweat test is specific to a type of activity and the specific environment. For example- when I lived in Florida, my sweat rate in the summer for a Zone 1-2 bike ride would be 75+ ounces per hour. However, even on a hot summer day in SW Pennsylvania, I typically see sweat rates in the 30-40 ounces an hour range.
SWEAT TEST: The individual will need to perform a sweat test. You will need the sweat test info to answer the Discussion. To perform the sweat test, follow these steps:
**The sweat test is the only time you will not use metric since many articles/lay info discusses sweat rate in ounces, not mL or liters.
Individuals should obtain their weight (to the nearest half Lb) without any clothes on (nude). Record the weight to the nearest half-pound.
Individual will complete an exercise bout typical for them lasting 45-60 minutes. During the bout, record the amount of fluids (in whole ounces) ingested (if any fluids are ingested). Try to avoid the consumption of solid food during this bout.
Post-exercise remove clothes, towel sweat off, and then reweigh to nearest half pound
Calculate fluid loss per hour & report it in question 1 below- report as whole ounces in bold text.
example: beginning weight: 160 pounds (45 minutes of running, 8.50 ounces fluid consumed)
ending weight: 158 pounds
fluid loss: 160 pounds MINUS 158 pounds PLUS .530 pounds EQUALS 2.53 pound weight loss, or 40.48 ounces of fluid lost in 45 minutes. Then convert to a per hour value:
40.48 ounces/45 min = ? ounces/60 min, ? = 54.0 ounce sweat rate per hour
Questions:
What is your estimated sweat rate per hour that you calculated? Report in whole ounces in bold text.
What is the average amount of fluid you estimate that a person with your active individual requires each day? (you should cite current research to support this estimate. Please bold your estimate.
How would you recommend they obtain this fluid
in your response, consider
the type of fluid(s)?
consumed in one sitting/multiple sittings?
Taking into account the sweat rate you estimated (and reported in question 1), do your estimates change? (in other words, is your individual a typical sweater, a heavy sweater, or a light sweater?
Your active individual decides to spend the next 6 weeks in Miami, Florida, and do all of the exercises outside between 8 am and 12 pm each day. Again based on research, how, if at all, would your recommendations from #1 differ?
(NOTE: in this instance, it is appropriate to use web information from sources such as the Weather Channel. The URL should take the reader directly to the info you use).
You should have no more than 2 web URLs – one for your locale and one for Miami.
UNIT 2 Discussion:
Question 1
Body mass: 84 kg
Height: 177.8 cm
Question 2
I spend 4-5 hours per week exercising through walking, rowing, and circuit on the machine bike. Also, a powerlifting bench is one of my activities, which takes 60-90 minutes per session; I do it five days a week.
Question 3
Recent research indicates how one can determine this individual’s daily CHO intake. Mata et al. (2019) have mentioned that CHO is crucial during HI exercise performance (Mata et al., 2019). Aim for 6-10 g/kg/day for moderate to high-intensity training sessions that last 1-3 hours a day, as indicated earlier by Vitale and Getzin (2019). Since the subject engages in extremely challenging powerlifting workouts, their CHO requirements will likely fall within this spectrum’s higher portions. For this 84 kg individual, a relative estimate of 8 g/kg/day would be perfect, making an absolute estimate of 672 g CHO/day for this man (84 kg × 8 g/kg/day). It should help meet their training needs and replenish glycogen stores.
Question 4
Recent research by Tagawa et al. (2022) and Goldman et al. (2024) indicates that the adaptation to protein consumption for strength athletes is from 1. 5 to 1.8 g/body weight per day. Based on the scale and frequency of the individual’s powerlifting program, their protein requirement may be determined to be close to the upper end of this scale, 1. 8 g/kg/day. Based on the values, a relative estimate of 1. 8 g/kg/day could be assigned to this 84 kg individual. Fat intake of 1.8 g/kg/day gives an estimated 151. 2 g protein/day (84 kg × 1. 8 g/kg/day). This intake should help their muscle building and strength increase when using their resistance training schedule.
Question 5
From the data described by Roberts et al. (2020) and Hannon et al. (2020) and considering the client’s age and weight, it will be possible to estimate the individual’s daily fat requirements. Roberts et al. proposed fat portions should be 10-25% of the total calories for physique athletes, and in Hannon et al., it is at 0. 5-1. 5 g/kg/day for strength sports. It should be divided into five equal intakes to allow proper digestion and absorption by the body (Roberts et al., 2020). Considering that the person is physically active and pays considerable attention to body composition, the fat requirement has been estimated at 1. 0 g/kg/day. This equates to an estimate of 84 g fat/day (84 kg × 1. 0 g/kg/day). The recommendation is consistent with the study’s sample’s recommendation to support hormonal function, health, and carbohydrate and protein intake.
