Participants needed for research


Droewors Cyclist

Recommended Posts

We have managed to find and test the low carbohydrate cyclists (there were many more out there than we thought), which is why we are now looking for the high carbers.

Visit 1: 2.5 hours - includeds dietary analysis and peak power output

Visit 2: 2.5 hours - 2 hour steady state ride at 55% of peak power

Day prior to visit 3: Come to Sports Science to collect labelled water and give blood sample

Visit 3: 5.5 hours - 2nd dietary analysis, tracer infusion, muscle biopsies, 2 hour ride

Visit 4: Oral glucose tolerance test (used to measure glucose tolerance and insulin resistance)

 

Whole thing is usually done over 2 to 3 weeks.

 

Hope that helps,

Chris

I received them a couple of years back during a similar trail in the institute :eek:

 

It would have been nice to see a photo/video indicating the needle/equipment used beforehand. :whistling:
