A University of Minnesota study is looking for active, lean
subjects to see how exercise benefits metabolism, for the TrainMeUpMN study.
Researchers are looking for active, lean people (Age 18-40) who run regularly
(>45 minutes running, 5 days per week) and who are otherwise in good health.
Researchers are interested in how the subject’s body has adapted to exercise.
The study will involve 4 outpatient visits to the University
of Minnesota. The study will take about 3 months. Researchers will measure VO2max,
body composition using DXA, and muscle fat content. Researchers will measure
muscle fat content by sampling muscle using a small needle in an outpatient
procedure with local anesthesia (1 from each leg, 2 biopsies total). Each muscle sample will be roughly the size
of 2 pencil erasers. The procedure is a well-established technique which has
been performed on high-level athletes for muscle evaluation.
Compensation will be provided. If
interested, please email Tyler Bosch or Anne Bantle at endores@umn.edu
or call 612-301-8309
