Example Baseline Protocol Notes
Day 1
+ Consume 1 standard glass of
water (250 ml) every hour from
9/10am to 5/6pm in addition to
any water typically consumed
during or after exercise.
+ Limit alcohol consumption (1
standard drink) to avoid alcohol-
related dehydration affecting
baseline readings.
Day 2
+ Consume 1 standard glass of
water (250 ml) every 45mins from
9/10am to 5/6pm in addition to
any water typically consumed
during or after exercise. We
recommend conducting baseline
measures on days where exercise
is light to minimize exercise-
related dehydration increasing
baseline readings.
+ Avoid eating or drinking 15
minutes before taking a baseline
measurement.
+ Take 3 baseline readings at 12pm
and 3 baseline readings at 5/6pm.
+ We recommend not to consume
any alcohol during day 2 to avoid
alcohol-related dehydration effects.
Day 3+
+ For greater precision, repeat the process outlined on day 2 for
additional days, up to 3 days total.
