Coconut oil and exercise study participants needed

Postgraduate student Charlotte Griffith, who is studying MSc Sports Science, is conducting a research project which explores the combined effects of extra virgin coconut oil and exercise on health over the summer period.  

Charlotte is looking for ‘inactive’ (sedentary) but healthy participants between 40 and 64 years of age who will take part in a low intensity exercise training intervention at the Human Performance Centre, three times a week for four weeks, as well as having the possibility of consuming one coconut oil capsule once a day for four weeks.

Participation in the study will also involve health-related tests at two intervals, before and after the exercise intervention. Each exercise training session will take 45 minutes. Each testing interval will last up to 60 minutes.

Participation is voluntary and participants can withdraw at any time if necessary. If you would like to participate in the research or require more info, Charlotte can be contacted via 11296658@students.lincoln.ac.uk or alternatively by phone on 07763382646.

The study is being supervised by Geoff Middleton, School of Sport and Exercise Science: gmiddleton@lincoln.ac.uk
