Sodium Loss and Fitness
==Sodium Loss and Fitness==
While some sources suggest that increased fitness reduces the sodium concentration in sweat research<ref name="training"/> shows this is not the case. For both trained and untrained individuals sodium concentration depends mainly on sweat rate. In fact, for a given relative intensity (% of [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]]) trained individuals will be performing a greater absolute work rate and therefore have a greater sweat rate and sodium concentration.
