Are you interested in advancing the use of technology in sports nutrition and enjoy free meals along the way? Help us to test a mobile food record app!
We are looking for research participants who are training and competing in a high-training load sport or actively engaged in training for a minimum of six hours per week and are aged between 18 and 45 years old.
About the study
Researchers from the Curtin School of Allied Health and Curtin School of Population
Health at Curtin University are looking to find easier ways to assess what athletes eat
using a mobile food record (mFRTM) app and would like your help to test out the
accuracy.
Validating this method in athletes, the first time in this population, would be
invaluable in improving access to high-quality energy intake data with applications to
nutrition interventions and performance optimisation.
The study runs over a day and would involve attending 3 short visits of approximately 30 to 45 minutes at approximate meal times between:
- 7am to 9am
- 12pm to 2pm and
- 5pm to 7pm.
The study will take place in the School of Public Health, Curtin University (Building 400, Room 111) on weekdays or weekends.
