  • •Subject has participated in any PepsiCo trial within past 6 months
  • •Subject has a condition the investigator believes would interfere with his/her ability to provide informed consent, comply with the study protocol, which might confound the interpretation of the study results or put the person at undue risk

Arms & Interventions

Validation. Gx sweat collection patch

Other

Left ventral forearm placement using Epicore Biosystems Gx patch

Intervention: Gx sweat patch (Other)

Validation. Reference sweat collection patch

Other

Right ventral forearm placement using a well-established methodology as published in peer-reviewed journals

Intervention: Reference sweat patch (Other)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Regional sweat chloride concentration

Time Frame: Average across a single practice session on 1 day

Gx patch vs. reference patch during exercise. Gx patch analyzed by colorimetry via smartphone app. Reference patch analyzed with ion chromatography

Secondary Outcomes

  • Regional sweating rate(Average across the same single practice session on the same 1 day as the primary outcome)
  • Whole body sweating rate(Measured one time to represent the average across the same single practice session on the same 1 day as the primary outcome)
