University of Bath Sport and Exercise student John Stoddart is looking for triathletes/duathletes in the Bath area to help out with his final year dissertation project.

John will be investigating the effects of compression socks on running performance following race simulation cycling. Basically - is it worth looking foolish in long socks?!

Testing will be taking place on five occassions (no more than 90 minutes each) between now and February 2010 and will involve participants cycling at sprint triathlon pace for 30 minutes, then running at sprint triathon race pace for 20 minutes. This will be completed three times, twice in socks and once without. Every participant will also get a free run and bike V02max test as part of the testing, and maybe even a free pair of socks!
