Inclusion Criteria
Healthy and physically active male subjects (self-reported sport participation minimum 2 times per week during the last 6 months), age from 18 to 30 years. Research subjects have to know from their selves that they sweat extensively upon exercise (self-reported by self-estimation). For homogeneity of the study population, only Caucasian males will be included. Moreover differences in skin colours may influence the NIR signal of the skin.
Exclusion Criteria
Research subjects who use any medication or (psycho)pharmaceuticals. Research subjects who suffer from chronic or metabolic diseases. Research subject who use pace-makers.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Establishment of a (quantitative) relationship between diffuse reflectance NIR<br /><br>spectroscopy measurements on the skin (both positively and negatively<br /><br>correlated wavelengths) with the body fluid balance using a limited set of<br /><br>research subjects. Body weight will be used as reference for the body fluid<br /><br>balance. BIA will be used as a second line control. This pilot study will<br /><br>generate detailed information needed to verify the suitability of protocols and<br /><br>methods in order to develop the final protocol for a subsequent main study.</p><br>
