When the body sweats, the body looses fluids and electrolytes like sodium and potassium that are essential to maintaining peak performance. Dehydration can begin when there is a lost as little as 1 percent of body weight. As little as a 2% decrease in body weight from fluid loss can lead to a significant decrease in muscular strength and stamina.
Sweating is the way in which the body maintains its core temperature, if unchecked sweating can lead to dehydration and eventually circulatory collapse and heat stroke. The sweat that evaporates from the skin contains a variety of electrolytes. The electrolyte composition of sweat is variable but comprises of the following components: Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride, Bicarbonate, Phosphate, and Sulphate.
During hard exercise, carbohydrate can be depleted at a rate of 3-4 grams per minute. If this is sustained for 2 hours or more, a very large fraction of the total body carbohydrate stores will be exhausted which in itself may result in reduced performance.
