“Exploring behaviors associated with eating habits of university athletes to improve intervention”
Wed, 2010-03-17 19:51
Hi all,
The team has been approached by 2 grad students of the School of Dietetics & Human Nutrition at McGill. They are looking for participants in their research project entitled “Exploring behaviors associated with eating habits of university athletes to improve intervention.” The study will explore the behaviors associated with eating habits in student athletes with a goal to determine the various factors which influence this population’s eating habits. The information will be used to help identify how eating habits are influenced in university student athletes. Furthermore, by identifying and understanding these determinants one will be better able to help modify problematic habits/behaviors if necessary.
Enough science! They would really like all C@M members to complete their 20 min questionnaire.
They are currently organizing a series of sessions where people will be able to go, get briefed, and fill in the questionnaire (not possible to do this at home and send it to them).
We (as a team) would really like all of you to take some of your time to help our colleagues in their project. It's good for science, them, you as an individual (they will inform everyone of the results during the summer) and also for the club's reputation.
I will post the location+date of the sessions as soon as I have them.
I'm counting on you :)

can we also have an intervention? I've been really wanting to have one for a long time but no one ever seems to be down. I was thinking one for Danby.

If not, can the points be redeemed for, say, a spa weekend?

I think the points should be used to supplement your KOM standings.
