PLANET3RRY » PhD Research http://www.planet3rry.com A look into my unpredictable life where delusions of grandeur are often followed by hilarious outcomes Sun, 29 Jan 2012 04:00:00 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Gravity@1053' is the audio supplement to my running blog at planet3rry.com. I live in Knoxville Tennessee and try to record while I am on the run in my scruffy little city. My goals are to finish the marathon distance in under 4 hours and to explore my limits by seeing how far I go in ultramarathoning and dabbling in Ironman distance triathlons.

I told him that I would pass the information around, so see if you Qualify or if you KNOW of someone who might Qualify, please contact him ASAP.
If you are able to respond to him, I’ll buy you a beer or a soda next time I see you! Rumor has it that there is mad cash for those that participate, I dunno though…

Here’s the information:

I am conducting a study examining the effects of resistance exercise on blood vessel function.  I need subjects for this study.  At this point, I only need a few more people with a BMI (body mass index) over 27 (A person who is 5’9″ and weighs 190 would have a BMI of just over 27)  It would require visits on 2 consecutive mornings at our lab in Richmond.
The subjects can not have done any strength training for at least 6 weeks and can’t currently be doing vigorous exercise, such as running or fast cycling.  Also, you would need to be aged between 18 and 39, not smoke and not be on any cardiovascular medications, such as blood pressure medications.  Here’s a link to a BMI Chart.
Please consider volunteering!  Also, please talk with your wife and/or significant other to see if she would consider participating.  Speak with your other friends, too.  Please email me directly with questions. I am home for UNC’s spring break this upcoming week so I could meet with subjects any two consecutive mornings from Monday March 8th until Monday March 13th.
