Dear Crossfit Community,
Researchers David MacDonald and Shantini Tharumanathan from the University of Queensland (Division of Physiotherapy) would like to invite you to participate in a study that will investigate the influence of changes in your center of balance (keeping your weight on your heels vs. on your toes) on lifting performance during a deadlift. This study uses surface electromyography to record your spinal and lower limb muscle activity, force plates to monitor your center of balance and 3D motion capture to record your spinal and lower limb movements.
If you are an experienced, healthy male lifter between 18 and 45 years old with no current spinal or lower limb injuries, you could be eligible participate. If you would like know more about this study or would like to participate, please contact Shantini Tharumanathan by phone on 0403 135 385 or email at shantini.tharumanathan@uqconnect.edu.au.
Kind Regards,
