Wits sports Lab--- Test Athletes Needed

[Pornstar]

 

Hi Guys

 

If any of you would like to partake in a Wits Sports Lab study , please get hold of them below, i have done a few and they are quite interesting.

 

We are

looking for sport specific males (road cyclists, mountain bikers,

runners and swimmers) aged between 18-30 to partake in a study which involves

one visit to our lab. Subjects need to partake in their sport for a minimum of 7

hours per week. We will do a bone density scan (worth over R1000 in private

practice) to determine body composition (muscle and fat mass) as well as bone

density. Additionally there will be a questionnaire to fill out and we will

need a blood sample too. The whole process takes about 1 hour. The aim of our study

(among other things) is to determine which group of athletes has the highest

bone mineral density.

 

 

If you know

of anyone that would be interested in partaking, we would be very grateful.

 

 

I am

contactable via email or cell phone: 082 772 5274

 

 

Many thanks

Does wits have approval for this study....to advertise on here? Not like a hub approval. Ethics approval.

Is this NEW research? NEVER EVER been done before? No previous studies?
