Question 1

What is a Electrolyte Balance?

Accepted Answer

Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride) are lost in sweat and must be replaced during prolonged exercise. Sodium loss (~920mg/L) is most critical — replacing water without sodium can cause dangerous hyponatraemia.

Question 2

How does the Electrolyte Balance work?

Accepted Answer

Sweat electrolyte content (approximate per litre): Na 920mg · K 200mg · Mg 36mg · Cl 1,400mg Then: Electrolyte loss = Sweat rate (L/hr) × Duration (hr) × Concentration Then: Sodium replacement is most critical for events > 2 hours.

Question 3

Can you give an example of how to use the Electrolyte Balance?

Accepted Answer

Example: Input Sweat rate 1.5 L/hr · 3-hour event gives a result of Sodium lost: 4,140mg · Potassium: 900mg (Far exceeds typical sports drink replacement).
