Bicyclists needed for paid studies

The Locomotion Lab of the Integrative Physiology Department at CU Boulder is recruiting participants for two research studies. 

Study on the effect of bicycle-rider geometry on cycling efficiency

These experiments are lab-based and involve a series of 5-minute cycling bouts on a level and inclined treadmill.

To be eligible for this study, you must be:

  • At least 18 years old
  • In good health
  • Cycle (outdoors or indoors) at least 4 hours per week
  • BYO clip-in pedals and shoes

The study consists of two 2-hour sessions. This experiment is completely non-invasive.

Participants will receive one $25 Amazon gift card per session.

Study on the effect of bicycle saddle tilt on sprint, endurance cycling performance

The sprint testing will involve a series of 50-meter uphill sprints, which will take place outdoors. The endurance testing will involve a series of 5-minute bouts of cycling on a treadmill, which will take place in the CU Locomotion Laboratory in Clare Small Building 111c.

To be eligible for this study, you must:

  • Be between 18–49 years old
  • Be between 5'6"–6'2" tall
  • Be in good health (unexposed/free from coronavirus)
  • Cycle (outdoors or indoors) at least 4 hours per week
  • Have at least one year of road cycling experience
  • Have your own clip-in pedals and shoes

The study consists of two 2-hour sessions held on separate days (~4 hours total). This experiment is completely non-invasive. 

You will receive a $25 Amazon Gift Card as compensation for completing each session.
