Cool, man

Ill see what the deadlines are, more specific than 6-8 weeks.

Hi Dale,

 

thanks for your interest in the study.

 

The first visit can be scheduled at your earliest convinience and availability of the lab and equipment.

 

Should you fall into either group, then the following visits can be scheduled at weekly intervals. Should you have work, family or race commitments that do not allow for weekly intervals then time between visits can be extended to up 3 weeks given that you maintain your usual training routine in between.

 

Also, as one of the experimental trials is a competition time trial, it might take a while to find someone, who falls within 2% of your baseline time trial time performed on your second visit.

 

Thus, all 4 visits are likely to take place within 6 to 8 weeks time, but we are relatively flexible and try to accomodate you guys as good as possible.

 

Please let me know, if you have certain time requirements that we can try to accomodate.

 

Cheers Andreas

Hi All,

 

we are still looking for participants in both groups as some of our participants had to drop out due to crashes in their first road races of the season.

 

Please contact me to get more detailed information and be safe out there.

Hi All,

 

we are slowly reaching the required numbers for the 'Elite' and 'Sub-Elite' groups and are looking forward for the first competition time trials taking place next week.

 

Please contact me, if you are keen to partake and learn more about your pacing skill, which is the single most important performance contributor.

 

Cheers Andreas

Hi All,

 

attached a picture from the first epic battle in our Bike Lab at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa.

 

Please excuse the poor quality of the picture, but you will get the idea.

 

There are still a few slots left, so please contact me, if you are keen to partake.

 

Cheers Andreas

Hi All,

 

the first 'Elite' participant finished his trial today and although I cannot discuss details here, we are very pleased that things went as planned.

 

We are also very happy to see that our 'Elite' group was nearly completely finishing in the first group at the PPA One Tonner yesterday, which confirms the chosen criteria. Well done guys. Also congrats to our 'Sub-Elite' participants that finished mostly well under 5h.

 

Cheers

Hi Guys, definitely worth it, the data you get back is very valuable and beneficial!

We are always glad to hear that sports science is not only for the sake of collecting data and increasing knowledge, but that this information can also be practically applied and ultimately be given back to the participants.

 

There is more to learn. Looking forward to your next visit.

 

Cheers Andreas
