Note: S-Caps does not specify the amount of fluid to take with each capsule, but does mention 'at least one cup', so this ratio is used. The per-pint and per-liter equivalents assumes assume a constant ratio of one capsule per 8oz of water. See also [[Comparison of Gels]]. ===Examples=Example Sodium Losses==
Here are some hypothetical examples
* Adam, a fit, heat acclimatized runner, weighs himself before and after his four hour run and the difference is 8 pounds, which is roughly equivalent to 8 pints /4 liters of sweat. We Based on 1 liter/hour of sweating we estimate that Adam has lost 0.4 grams of sodium per pint, for a total of 3.2 grams of sodium, which is 8 grams of salt or about 1.3 2 teaspoons. * Bob, a fit, but is not heat acclimatized runner, weighs himself before and after his run and the difference is 10 losses 9 pounds, which is roughly equivalent to 10 in three hours (9 pints of /4.5 liters). From the sweat. We rate we estimate that Bob has lost 0.7 grams of sodium per pint, for a total of 7 grams of sodium, which is 17 grams of salt or about 3 teaspoons.* Charlie, a fit, but not heat acclimatized runner, weighs himself before and after his run and the difference is 8 pounds, which is roughly equivalent to 8 pints of sweat. Charlie had also consumed 80 ounces of Gatorade on the run. This gives an estimate of 8+5=13 pints of sweat. At 0.7 grams of sodium per pint, that’s a total of 9 grams of sodium, which is 23 grams of salt or about 4 teaspoons3. The Gatorade provided approximately 1 gram of sodium, or a 1/2 teaspoon. * For the next run, Charlie changes his drink to add 1/4 teaspoon of extra salt to his Gatorade. He sweats and drinks the same amounts as the previous run. This time, his drink provides him with 4.7 grams of salt, or 3/4 teaspoon of saltteaspoons. ===Sodium Loss Sweat Rates While Running===
Sweat rates in male runners have been measured in the range from 0.75-2.23 in winter to 0.99-2.55 in the summer (Liters per hour)<ref name="acsm"/>. At the low end, we can imagine a fit runner finishing a 3-hour marathon in winter and sweating only 2.25 Liters. Assuming they are also heat acclimated, they would only lose 2 grams of sodium, which is 5 grams of salt, less than a teaspoon. On the other end of the scale, a fit, but unacclimatized runner completing a 5 hour marathon in summer would sweat out nearly 13 Liters, 18 grams of sodium, which is 45 grams of salt or more than 7 teaspoons.
There is a table showing a range of values at [[Sodium Loss]].
The evidence for hydration and electrolyte status causing [[Cramps]] is somewhat ambiguous, but supplementing your electrolyte intake may help.
* Intracellular fluid (ICF) which is 40% of body weight
* Extracellular fluid (ECF) which is the other 20% of body weight
** plasma Plasma is 25% of ECF/5% body weight** interstitial Interstitial fluid which is 75% of ECF/15% of body weight, typically 11 Liters/22 pints. The volume of extracellular fluid is typically 15 liters in a 70 kg human, and the 50 grams of sodium it contains is about 90% of the body's total sodium content.==Symptoms of Dehydration=These symptoms are for the general public<ref name="CLINC"/>==These symptoms are for the general public, and there is evidence<ref name="SYMPT"/> that they may not apply to athletes suffering from mild dehydration.{| {{table}}| alignclass="centerwikitable" style="backgroundmargin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border:#f0f0f0none;"|'''! symptom'''| align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''! mild dehdration dehydration (3-5% body weight)'''| align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''!
