We are doing a study on caffeine metabolism and how the possession of a particular gene variant may affect it’s metabolism and also exercise performance. We’d like to recruit healthy male cyclists Below is the basic details of what is required for the study.
We are looking for healthy, endurance-trained male cyclists between the ages of 18 and 40 , who exercise at least 3 days per week.
Participants will be required to come in on four separate occasions as follows:
Session 1: 1.5 hours for maximal aerobic testing and blood sample collection
Session 2: 1 hour initially for blood sample collections, supplementation and breakfast then a blood sample collection 2.5 hours later
Session 3-4: base-line blood sample collection, supplementation and breakfast then 1 hour rest followed by 2.5 hours of exercise.
All participants who successfully complete this study will be given $80 in vouchers to reimburse them for travel and time.

Healthy fit males who don’t mind a bit of caffeine required
We will adopt a high-quality assured approach in implementing the Local Roading Authority’s/Cycling New Zealand’s ‘Safe Traffic Management System’ (STMS) standards which ensure best practices and rider and spectator safety.
If the level of community funding secured is not sufficient to contract in external road management service providers with the ability to stop/go traffic, the Novice Tour will proceed on a ‘local club racing’ model, whereby our team of trained/experienced road marshals will, where necessary, pause racing in order to give way to traffic and ensure rider safety.
Although funding external road management services with the ability to stop/go traffic is ideal, if this is not feasible – we are confident that the event’s ‘Safe Traffic Management System’ (STMS) will provide a competitive, fair, enjoyable and importantly safe racing environment.
