How this is calculated

Sweat lost = weight before - weight after + fluid drunk - urine passed (a kilogram of body weight is about a litre of sweat), divided by the time exercising. Losing more than 2% of body weight is flagged, as performance starts to suffer past it. The suggested drinking replaces most of the sweat rate; the minimum keeps the loss under 2%; afterwards about 1.5 litres per kilogram lost.
