Occasions that you could benefit from using the Salhy personal hydration test:
Baseline Testing
Establish a baseline when you are optimally hydrated (called eu-hydrated). Compare any future tests to your baseline. For more about baseline testing click here.
Pre workout
Great for checking hydration before starting an intensive workout or prior to a work shift
During activity
Test during a work shift break or half-time at a sports game. Gauge how well your fluid / electrolyte strategies are performing.
Recovery
Post activity test to understand how well your hydration has recovered. Check if you are back to your optimum hydration 'baseline'.
The Salhy app records each test, allowing you to track your results over time
The problem with other methods
The Salhy test offers many benefits over the traditional methods of measuring hydration such as a blood test, measuring body mass change or a urine test.
Invasive
Blood testing requiring needles and blood samples.
Urine testing is messy, invasive and unpopular.
Body Mass change is typically measured when stripped down to minimal clothing.
Complex
Blood testing requires specialist equipment and medical professionals.
Body Mass change calculations require complex pre-post measurements, precision scales and calculations to account for toileting and fluid/food consumption.
Urine specific gravity typically uses specialist refractometry equipment.
Slow
Blood testing requires lab analysis and does not give immediate results.
Body Mass change requires before and after testing so isn’t immediate.
None of the methods provide a digital result for immediate sharing with others (sports coaches, H&S managers)
