KSU CrossFit study seeking more participants
You may have heard me talking in class about the research study I’m taking part in at Kennesaw State University. Dr. Yuri Feito (Assistant Professor of Exercise Science at KSU) is also a CrossFitter, and he’s doing a research project that specifically looks at CrossFit. His team is currently recruiting participants.
To participate, you’ll visit their lab on two different occasions (about a week apart) and learn some really cool stuff about yourself.
The protocol is two days one-week apart (schedule permitting). First visit (60-90 minutes) consists of DEXA scan to determine body composition (% body fat, %fat free mass, etc – this is the Gold Standard), VO2max and lactate threshold test (you will run on a treadmill at a self-selected speed and be pricked in the finger several times to get a small blood sample).
On the second visit (~60 minutes), you’ll do a 15 minute AMRAP of 250 min row, 20 kettlebell swings – 35/25 lbs, and 15 dumbbell thrusters – 30/20 lbs.
Email Yuri at yfeito@kennesaw.edu or check out this link to learn more. They’re looking for all levels of ability.
You TOO can look this cool if you volunteer for the KSU research study.
