Indoor cyclists wanted for remote-training study

1/14/2021

 
Blog post by Marco Altini
A  new remote study investigating how the heart responds to endurance training with and without the use of recovery breaks during the exercise is about to start.

HRV4Training will be used by the study participants to monitor resting heart rate and HRV each morning. Please read below in case you are interested in participating.

The study  is performed by Dr Neil Eves and John Sasso from the Centre for Heart, Lung and Vascular Health, within the School of Health and Exercise Sciences at the University of British Columbia.

Participant Details

The study needs thirty-six healthy males and females (pre-menopausal), between the ages of 30 and 48, who have been participating in endurance sport training for at least 3 years, are currently exercising at least 5 times per week, use indoor cycle training with a powermeter and heart rate monitor, and have daily access to a smart-device.

You are not eligible to participate if you: have a heart, lung or brain condition, have diabetes, have a muscle or bone condition that limits vigorous exercise, or smoke

Study Details

The study will be performed entirely remotely (home-based)- it will involve tracking your typical endurance training over 4 weeks and performing 7 cycling-based tests of your heart’s response to exercise.

The study will start and finish by asking you to measure how your heart rate responds to a maximal exercise test, a moderate intensity cycling bout and a 20-minute cycling trial. For the first 2 weeks of the study, you will perform your usual training and send your heart rate and training data files to the researchers. For the next 2 weeks, you will either repeat the exact same training, or include short rest breaks within the same training sessions.

​From this study, you will gain insight into how your heart responds to forms of endurance training and will have an opportunity to speak with an exercise specialist about your training programming and goals.
