Science Fair Project

Potential Subjects (everyone reading this!),

Amanda (age 10) is conducting a research project for the Science Fair this year and she is currently enrolling participants. She will determine which food (chocolate bar, banana, or peas) is superior for fueling a 20 minute stationary cycling effort.

There are three stationary bikes at the J. All subjects will do the same program at the same level for the same amount of time (20 minutes) and wear a heart rate monitor. Subjects will need to participate on three different days. Subjects will consume 100 calories of the provided test food (chocolate bar, banana, peas) 15 minutes before the effort. Heart rate needs to be recorded before beginning and after 20 minutes the max and average heart rate will be recorded. The data will be analyzed and conclusions will result.

Free passes for the J will be obtained for non members! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and space is limited so be sure to register right away! Just post your willingness to participate to the blog (or send email to cheri/brian if you like).

Thanks,
Brian

Brian, I am good for it. Let me know. We could do them on Sunday morning and then go do a real bike ride like Mike suggested.
