This study determined the relative importance of several individual characteristics and dietary, environmental, and exercise factors in determining sweat [Na
] during exercise. Data from 1944 sweat tests were compiled for a retrospective analysis. Stepwise multiple regression (
< 0.05 threshold for inclusion) and
values were used to express the relative importance of each factor in a model. Three separate models were developed based on available independent variables:
(1,944 sweat tests from 1,304 subjects);
(subset with energy expenditure: 1,003 sweat tests from 607 subjects);
(subset with energy expenditure, dietary sodium, and V̇o
:
= 48). Whole body sweat [Na
] was predicted from forearm sweat patches in
and directly measured using whole body washdown in
. There were no significant effects of age group, race/ethnicity, relative humidity, exercise duration, pre-exercise urine specific gravity, exercise fluid balance, or dietary or exercise sodium intake on any model. Significant predictors in
(adjusted
= 0.17,
< 0.001) were season of the year (warm,
= -6.8), exercise mode (cycling,
= 6.8), sex (male,
= 4.9), whole body sweating rate (
= 4.5), and body mass (
= -3.0). Significant predictors in
(adjusted
= 0.19,
< 0.001) were season of the year (warm,
= -5.2), energy expenditure (
= 4.7), exercise mode (cycling,
= 3.6), air temperature (
= 3.0), and sex (male,
= 2.7). The only significant predictor in
(
= 0.23,
< 0.001) was energy expenditure (
= 3.8). In summary, the models accounted for 17%-23% of the variation in whole body sweat [Na
] and energy expenditure and season of the year (proxy for heat acclimatization) were the most important factors.
This comprehensive analysis of a large, diverse data set contributes to our overall understanding of the factors that influence whole body sweat [Na
]. The main finding was that energy expenditure was directly associated with whole body sweat [Na
], potentially via the relation between energy expenditure and whole body sweating rate (WBSR). Warmer months (proxy for heat acclimatization) were associated with lower whole body sweat [Na
]. Exercise mode, air temperature, and sex may also have small effects, but other variables (age group, race/ethnicity, fluid balance, sodium intake, relative V̇o
) had no association with whole body sweat [Na
]. Taken together, the models explained 17%-23% of the variation in whole body sweat [Na
].
