I'd like you to begin to develop a hydration protocol for two of these athletes. You've already calculated their sweat rates. How much fluid does athlete 1 need to consume to overcome fluid losses associated with sweat?

Athlete 1's sweat rate = 1.7 kilograms per hour, 1 kilogram = 1 liter, so sweat rate = 1.7 liters per hour.
