Your athletes sweat loss rates can vary. To help you estimate your athletes' fluid needs, use the Gatorade Fluid Loss Calculator. It provides a measure of how much sweat an athlete may lose, as well as guidelines for a fluid intake strategy to keep your athletes safely hydrated.

To be successful, you've got to have a game plan. Gatorade and the Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI) have teamed-up to provide valuable resources on topics such as fueling your athletes, building teamwork, strength training, heat illness, and making sports safe and enjoyable.
