What does the test person have to consider before/when performing a Food or Activity analysis? (Test standardizations)

Test standardization uVida Food

1. At least 2 hours food abstinence before each measurement
2. Drink only water at least 2 hours before the measurement
3. No training on the day of the analysis
4. No intensive training on the day before the analysis
5. Avoid excitement and stress (tip: schedule customers 15 minutes in advance and allow them to relax before the measurement)

Customers must receive the test standardization information before each analysis.

Further standardization for ergometers: 

1. Pedaling frequency/revolutions per minute: As constant a value as possible between 70-90 
2. Test in a seated position, no riding out-of saddle!
