The UCT/MRC Research Unit for Exercise Science and Sports Medicine is recruiting participants for a study examining the relationship between exercise intensity and post-exercise rate of recovery.
Investigating this relationship within the same individual and between individuals will assist in understanding the value of recovery rate as a measure of current fitness and potential to respond to future training. Participation would involve laboratory visits to determine maximal oxygen consumption and heart rate and recovery measurements following a 20 min run at 3 different submaximal speeds.
Those interested in participating should be;
• between the ages of 18 and 45 years
• have running as their main sport and have trained consistently for 3 months or more
• have a current 10 km road run time of 60 min or less
Benefits of participating in the study include;
• pertinent personal feedback of valuable measures of health and fitness such as BMI, body fat %, VO2max, peak treadmill running speed, heart rate recovery and variation in post-exercise recovery rate.
To apply, please contact Chris Webster on:

The closing date for applications to participate in this study is 19th of August 2011.
