Fwd: Remote Running Study

[Sean Hearne]

Hello, - here is an opportunity for our runners to participate in a study and receive a copy of results later.  Please contact Alex directly if you are still running and want to help a PhD student do some research.

Good morning Arvada Triathlon,

My name is Alex Ehlert and I am a PhD candidate at Old Dominion University studying methods to reduce or manage gastrointestinal issues during running. One of my dissertation studies involves having runners and triathletes do 5-minutes of simple breathing exercises each day for 4 weeks and performing a few measurements (surveys, heart rate measures, etc). As I am sure you can imagine, completing a dissertation during a pandemic has been a challenge and I am looking for help! I've attached a recruitment flyer that outlines the study and the criteria for participating. Is there any way you could send this flyer out to athletes within your club or any others you think might be interested? Any help you could give would be very much appreciated!

 

I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the study or provide additional information about what it involves. 

 

Thank you for your time and have a great day,

 

Alex
