Hydration Study

The ODU Human Performance Laboratory is completing a study to determine how different measures of hydration (saliva osmolality, urine specific gravity, urine osmolality) relate to the amount of muscle mass a person has. Each participant will provide a saliva sample, one urine sample, and undergo two body composition tests with the researchers. One of the tests used to assess body composition (InBody 770) is valued at $50.

To be eligible, participants must meet the following criteria:

• 18+ years of age
• Be under 330 lbs.
• Not have an implanted electrical device (i.e., pacemaker)
• Not be currently pregnant

This study is being conducted by Josie Burdin, undergraduate student at Old Dominion University, and Patrick Wilson, PhD, RD Associate Professor at Old Dominion University. If you have any questions or are interested in participating, please email Josie at jburd004@odu.edu.
