NICOLE CARA RESEARCH PROJECT – I am conducting an interesting study: Walking: Efficient and Strong or Wasteful and Weak? The study requires you to watch some videos of people walking on a treadmill and rate their strength and efficiency. You must be over the age of 18 to participate in this study, regardless of your own athletic performance! Participation should take no longer than 15/20 minutes and can be arranged around your session. Those who have already participated in the study have commented that they will use the knowledge gained to aid their own training and competing. If you are interested I look forward to hearing from you on nicolecara@hotmail.co.uk or on 07875642534. (Full ethical approval has been obtained from Brunel University Ethical Committee).
