Exercise and sport science call for participation.

I have heard that this group is looking for beginning cyclists
specifically, but all levels are welcome.

Yes! If you could actually forward the info below along that would be
great! Thanks :)

*Research participants needed!*

We are currently seeking healthy, active volunteers for a study to examine
the relationship between the 30-minute stationary cycling time trial and
heart rate at lactate threshold. The title of the research project is, “A
Field Test for the Estimation of Heart Rate at Lactate Threshold: The
30-minute Cycling Time Trial.” This research is being conducted at Oregon
State University campus in Corvallis, in the College of Public Health and
Human Sciences, Department of Exercise and Sport Science (Principal
Investigator: Jason Penry, PhD).

Participants will cycle on their own bicycle for three exercise sessions, 2
vigorous intensity time trials and 1 lactate threshold and VO2MAX test to
assess maximal oxygen consumption. A small amount of blood will be taken at
several time points before, during and after exercise to measure blood
lactate concentration as part of the study.

You may be able to participate if you:

- Are between the age of 18-45.

- Have experience in training for and/or compete in endurance cycling
events.

- Are not pregnant or lactating.

Your benefits will include:

- Learning your VO2max, lactate threshold (LT), fuel utilization at
sub-threshold intensities, and body fat percentage.

- Contributing to research in Exercise & Sport Science.

- Assisting researchers working to improve field tests to identify lactate
threshold.
