The School of Sport and Exercise Science are running a research study which requires inactive or sedentary people aged either 60 or over who are reward £35 for full participation.
Our work involves visiting the Sports Centre on the Brayford campus twice, each visit separated by approximately 10 weeks. During each visit the following measurements and assessments which are all non-invasive and suitable for the over 60s:
– Height/weight measurements and blood pressure
– Three balance tests, a chair stand test and a bicep curl test with a light weighted dumbbell
– Five memory and decision making tests completed on a computer
We are looking to recruit straight away availability can be discussed and a favoured day for the visiting can be arranged. Car parking can also be arranged on request.
