Reasearch project on road cyclists

[StephM]

Are you doing the Lassen Steel and Pipes Ladies and Vets Tour 2009???
 
My name is Stephanie Murphy.  I'm looking for male and female cyclists who have entered the  Steel and Pipes Tour to participate in my research project.  I will be investigating the effect of repeated cycling (as in the Tour) on your sleep.
 
The cyclists I require for the project should be aged between 30 and 50 years old, be fit and healthy and be living in Gauteng.  If you agree to participate you will be required to complete some questionnaires and wear a small logger on your wrist during sleep (logger detects movement). The questionnaires are quick to complete and the logger is comfortable to wear.  In addition, we will need some blood samples which a nurse or doctor will draw from a vein in your arm. The loss of blood will not be harmful to you and will not influence your cycling ability.  If you agree to participate, we will travel to your accommodation/house to collect the blood samples. In addition, participants who complete the entire study will be reimbursed the entrance fee to the race (R750).  
 
If you are interested in taking part in my research project, please contact me
