If this is a very important metric for you, like one of the key metrics you use in order to understand how have the previous period influenced you and you're looking for marginal changes, then it becomes very important also how you standardize the days before. But I would say for a normal person, I would say that I would keep a standardized protocol.

So I would come in there, let's say, at least trying to eat pretty much the same every time I go there. And that means making sure you are well-fueled as if you were going to do an important training session.

That means normally more carbohydrates, make sure you're well hydrated and obviously also that you are to the extent you can influence it or you can, you should be able to influence it, but make sure that you also had a proper sleep so you don't come in there like completely tired and things like this.

This is where I would say it's more important to use your experience to have enough understanding of what makes you set up for a good test the day after. So for some people, exercise is irregular and there are more time in between. Obviously, if you're going to do a little bit harder exercise the day before or anything like this, you'll come into the session and you even feel sore in the muscles.

This is not ideal necessarily for the ability to mobilize. For the athletes that are well-trained, then it's completely different. Then it's more like, okay, what would I do the day before a competition or anything like this?

It doesn't have to be an elite level, but it's more like you think a little bit like, what do I want to do in order to make sure that I've gone through the different stuff and I feel ready for the day after? So on the day of the test itself, one is important timing of the day. This is important to try to keep somewhat consistent, I would say, because of the circadian rhythm.

We know that, for example, your temperature levels in your body, this fluctuates. This is maybe one of the easiest observable differences in a human, basically, as an indirect measure of the circadian rhythm, where we basically see that you have a minimum point that happens typically in the morning just before you wake up, and then you have a maximum point typically in the afternoon.

And there is, of course, plenty of research suggesting that aerobic exercises are best done normally a little bit in the afternoon when you are typically also around the highest core temperature or natural core temperature. The minimum point is easy to measure.

So for people that has to, like now it's become very popular, like in the Tour de France and other places, triathlons, you see these people, they run around with this little temperature device on their body. And it's very easy to observe if you use it 24-7. This is very easy to observe basically when your minimum point is.

The maximum point is influenced unless it can be masked by noise and other activities and other things you do. So it's a little bit harder to see where it is. But let's say you put them 12 hours apart as a guiding tool. But now I'm already getting to the point where it gets a little bit, let's say, more detailed. But I would just say, keep the timing of the day the same.
