Which of the following represents the approximate sweat rate of an athlete given the following information?

- Pre-exercise weight: 143 pounds (65 kg)
- Post-exercise weight: 137 pounds (62 kg)
- Urine volume: 3 ounces
- Drink volume: 8 ounces
- Exercise time: 75 minutes

A. 1.25 oz/min
B. 0.15 oz/min
C. 0.11 oz/min
D. 1.35 oz/min

Answer :

Answer:

The correct answer is - b. 0.15 oz/min

Explanation:

Sweat rate can be determined by the difference of pre and post exercise weight and fluid retention divided by exercise time

Sweat rate: {(pre exercise - post exercise weight) + (fluid intake - urine output)}/time

= (143-137)+8-3/75

= 0.15 oz/min.
