Performance Enhancement Research


I am a PhD student at Leeds Metropolitan University researching performance enhancement in sport. I am currently trying to recruit participants for a study I am conducting, which involves filling out a short questionnaire online regarding the characteristics and outcomes associated with performance enhancement use in sport. I am particularly after masters athletes that participate/have participated competitively in any sport at any level. The link to the questionnaire is:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/characteristics_outcomes

If you can help me in any way, then it would be much appreciated.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards

Lisa Whitaker

The Home Countries International XC race will be held at Santry Park, Dublin on Saturday the 13th November 2010.

The criteria for selection are based on National BMAF events, especially the Cross Country Championships as well as the 5k & 10k Road and track championship races. Competing in BMAF rather than local events gives the selectors an opportunity to compare athletes over the same courses.

An application form for consideration to be selected can be either downloaded from the BMAF website at http://www.bmaf.org.uk or from the MMAC website at http://www.midlandmasters.org.uk or from the link below.

Alternatively, send an sae 9″x 6″ (correctly stamped) to Mick Smedley, MMAC International XC Selector (England), 12a Bagshaw Street, Crewton, DERBY DE24 8TX for an application form.

All applications MUST be received by Mick Smedley (England only) no later than Friday, 24th September 2010.

This is what other runners had to say about last years event …

From the Runners World web site:

Congratulations Malvern Joggers on the excellent organisation of your inaugural race!

Seven of us travelled over from Amazing Feet RC in Kidderminster, and were very glad we did. This was a very friendly and extremely well organised race over what turned out to be quite a tough course, which included two long climbs. Great value also with a Malvern Joggers water bottle as a keepsake, free post-race massage and a free hotdog / burger at the local pub.

Well done Malvern Joggers – see you next year.

Ian Hall
