Athletic Performance Research Project

Calling all athletes!!!!!!! I am going to be doing an athletic performance research project in conjunction with a professor of mine at Northeastern. The project itself is still in the making, however, I am starting to recruit some people. I figured this would be a great place to explain what I have so far....

What am I looking for? Athletes of ALL levels! Whether you are looking to train for your first triathlon or looking to qualify for a national level race. My focus originally was triathletes, but I would love to have runners too.

What will I be doing? According to your goals, I am going to be giving you a performance evaluation.....some possible tests will include endurance (Vo2 max test on the treadmill, lactate threshold), body fat, strength, wingate (on the bike....to test power), and a nutrition dietary analysis. These will all be done in the Fall/Late summer (august/september). After all the tests, I will individually go over your results and give you training recommendations! Possibly a 2nd round of tests will be done later on to see how you have been doing. Basically, an opportunity to evaluate your fitness level and fine tune your training!

This will be a great experience....please email me at jtracy13@gmail.com if you are interested and I will send you out my survey so you can help me formulate my project!

FYI, you need to be able to get to Northeastern Campus....
