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)
