PARTICIPATE IN THE RESEARCH STUDY COVID-19 AND YOUR TRAINING PRACTICES...
HOW HAVE THEY CHANGED?
A new study is underway to explore the effect of the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and government recommended/implemented isolation and public amenity closure measures, on your resistance training behaviours and perceptions of changes in training. The study will involve the completion of a short online questionnaire about your resistance training behaviours before and after the current pandemic, in addition to your perceptions of current training. This questionnaire should take about 10 minutes in total to complete. With permission, we may contact you in the future with a follow-up survey depending on the changing circumstances.
If you would like to participate, please click the link below. Whether or not you take part is your choice. If you do not want to take part, you do not have to give a reason. If you do want to take part now, but change your mind later, you can leave the study at any time.
