    If you are a male cyclist aged 35 to 45 and are based in Cape Town, please volunteer for our study looking at the relationship between ventilatory/lactate thresholds and performance. All testing, including 3 VO2max tests, normally valued over R1500 each, and 3 FTP tests, are free of charge, and will take place at the Sport Science Institute of South Africa, Newlands, Cape Town. Please see details below and contact us to get more information and schedule your first visit!

    Yes we are still recruiting participants. Please email me at lthdav004@myuct.ac.za. Unfortunately all testing does need to take place at our laboratories in Cape Town.

    We are looking for well-trained male cyclists aged 30 to 45 to volunteer for a study on ventilatory thresholds and performance and the effect of diet composition. Please see the attached advert.

    Herewith the study information!

    Any LCHF cyclists just finished with Transbaviaans?

    Hi there! We are still looking for well-trained male cyclists who have habitually been eating a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet for at the past 6 months. Please consider volunteering for our study so we may learn more about the influence of diet on traditional training thresholds! You will learn your VO2max, training (respiratory) thresholds and get some good training out of it too! Please contact use (see advert) for more information!

    Yes you will. As well as your respiratory thresholds that correlate to your first and second lactate thresholds. These tests are valued at over R1000 when tested by the high performance center so there is mutual benefit:)

    Hi all! We are still recruiting well-trained cyclists following a Low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet! Please spread the word and let anyone know who you think may be eligible:) Happy riding!

    Hi all Thanks for your debate around the study. Glad to see it sparked some interest! To clarify the nature of our study: we are first testing cyclists who are habitually adapted to a LCHF diet (eating this way for at least 6 months) to identify traditional respiratory thresholds and see how they predict performance. This is because all well-known thresholds have only been validated in athletes consuming high-carbohydrate diets, and the picture looks a whole lot different in LCHF athletes we have tested. Thus we are merely assessing the validity and reliability ot these thresholds, or perhaps identifying novel thresholds, in LCHF athletes. After we have recruited and tested our target sample size of LCHF athletes, we will be recruiting athletes on a high-carbohydrate diet who are matched to the LCHF individuals in terms of age, training experience and performance level, and we will compare between groups the relationships between their respiratory thresholds and performance. That way in the future, researchers will be able to cater for dietary intake in their assessments of physiological parameters and prescriptions of training zones. Hope this makes sense! Please volunteer if you are interested and think you are eligible:)
