BOX HILL SUCCESS AT THE SANDOWN ROAD RELAYS

Box Hill won a swag of medals at the Sandown road relays on Saturday. While the Geelong team led by Craig Mottram was too strong in the men’s Premier Division, our team performed well to take the silver medal. Our women’s premier division team, led by Courtney Powell, medalled for the first time this season taking the bronze. Box Hill won gold in the men’s over 50 competition and silver in the men’s under 20, men’s under 18 and women’s under 16 races. We also picked up a bronze medal in the women’s under 18 event. Our women’s division 5 team also did well to finish 3rd in their division.

See below for Ian Sloane’s report.

A big thank you to Rachel Johnson, Katherine Foley and Francis Pamminger who volunteered to act as officials and to Ian Sloane, Michael Vaughan, Kelly Ulf, Simone Lovass and Michelle Atkinson who helped as timekeepers.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE STUDIED?

Deakin University in Burwood are currently conducting a research project looking at how individuals of different training backgrounds (sprinters and long distance runners) respond to a new type of weight training called blood flow restriction exercise (BFR).

They are looking for males 18-40 years of age that have been training competitively in endurance sports (eg long distance running, cycling, mtb) or sprint sports (100-400 metres, sprint cyclists, etc) for at least the past 6 months (the longer the better).

One of the major benefits of participating will having a VO2 max test taken which can be quite valuable for athletes as it may aid in training prescription etc, and usually costs around $200-300. Another reason to participate would be to learn about this novel training technique and how it may be used in training to potentially increase performance.

If there is anyone at the club that may be interested please get in contact with Nelson Lay at 0432691445 or email nelson@deakin.edu.au.
