Participants needed for research

[hughes32]

Hi cyclist,

 

There is a research study being conducted by the University of Cape Town looking at training zones and performance in cyclists following either a high fat diet or a high carb diet, and we are looking for participants.

 

If you follow either of these diets and are a keen cyclist this may be a great opportunity to get involved in some research and learn more about your own cycling performance. Participants will receive a report of all their training thresholds and performance results.

 

Specifically, we are looking for people who meet these criteria:

- male between the ages of 18 and 45

- well trained cyclists who can cycle at a relatively high intensity for 2 hours 

- able to make it to the Sports Science Institute in Newlands, Cape Town on 5 occasions for testing

- have been following either a low fat high carb diet or a high fat low carb diet for at least the past 6 months 

 

For more information, you can contact me at hughes.alix3@gmail.com

 

Cheers, 

Alix

Welcome to the forum

 

Search the forum.  Same research was advertised here last year ....  Ironically not a lot of interest ...

Thank you for the welcome.

 

That thread is also for the same study. As the study is still ongoing we wanted to post a newer advertisement in case people had not seen the one from last year.

Hi Cyclists, 

 

We are still looking for recruits, particularly people on a high carb diet.

Hi, what is the definition of:

 

"well trained cyclists who can cycle at a relatively high intensity for 2 hours "
