Where Are We At With Sweat?

Listen to a podcast interview by David Curnow with Professor Hugh Dunstan to find out what we really understand about sweat. How can this knowledge help you, whatever your goals? Whether you are an elite or amateur sports person, or someone who just wants to stay fit and healthy, this podcast is worth listening to.

This is the podcast brief:

Humans are one of the few species of animals that use sweat to cool down. What's in the sweat, how it's made and how we replace what's lost have long been the focus of scientists, athletes, and companies trying to sell you recovery drinks. Join Professor Hugh Dunstan as he explains why products like Gatorade are only part of the answer, why sugar is legally required in an electrolyte drink, and how our bodies actually change the composition of the fluid depending on why we are sweating.
