Droewors Cyclist Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Hi cyclists We've had a drop out from the trial so there is space for one more participant. We are looking for a participant for this trial: http://essm.uct.ac.z...bohydrate-diet/ that meets the following criteria: Male, mid to late 30sWell trained and competitiveEats a diet low in fat and high in carbsAvailable for testing at the Sports Science Institute in Newlands, Cape TownAvailable for testing from 21 July to 16 Aug. If you meet the criteria and are interested in your physiology and substrate oxidation this trial could be for you. There is feedback and results for all the tests. The feedback includes but is not limited to:Peak powerVO2maxHRmaxFat and carbohydrate oxidation ratesMuscle glycogen levels and rate of use (muscle biopsy)Rate of carbohydrate production by the liverInsulin resistance and glucose tolerance testingBody fat %Dietary analysis There is R750 for participation. Please contact me if you are interested and want more details at wbschr002@myuct.ac.za Thanks,Chris Edited July 18, 2014 by Droewors Cyclist
Droewors Cyclist Posted May 16, 2014 Author Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) We still need one more participant... Amongst other things, we are measuring: Body fat %Peak power and VO2maxComposition of diet (protein, fat and carbs mainly)Watts, HR and VO2 at 55% of peak powerCarb and fat oxidation ratesBlood glucose, ketones, fatty acid and lactateMuscle glycogen levels before and after a two hour rideInsulin resistance and glucose tolerance There will be detailed feedback for all tests.

Droewors Cyclist Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Hey all Well trained cyclists on a high-carb diet, if you meet the above criteria in the original post and have in interest in your physiology please drop me a mail. Edited May 21, 2014 by Droewors Cyclist
Droewors Cyclist Posted May 22, 2014 Author Posted May 22, 2014 I am a girl. We're in the late stages of testing and are trying to match high-carbers to existing low carb participants. That is why the selection criteria is quite specific.

Droewors Cyclist Posted May 22, 2014 Author Posted May 22, 2014 I've already done it 6 years ago, High carbs trump High Protein Fat diet.Trumps in terms of? Are you keen to lend your high-carb skills to the trial? There is no intervention, we are interested in how your body functions as a high-carb athlete.
