APPLICATIONS FOR THE TOR DES GEANTS 2012 RESEARCH PROJECT

 

For the fourth consecutive year, after its “zero”, first and second edition, the third TDG will again be the subject of thorough research activities to be carried out by an international pool of universities.

This year we are again looking for 25-30 MALE INDIVIDUALS willing to be subjected to tests on Friday afternoon or Saturday before the race as well as at its finish (some types of tests and for the most willing athletes, it will even be possible to carry out the tests at the Donnas Life Base). The tests are not particularly intrusive (no samples of blood will be taken) and do not involve stress or fatigue which could damage performance. The individuals’ personal data will not be divulged and will be treated in compliance with the current regulations on privacy.

What will you “gain” by offering yourself as a “guinea-pig”? You will get a fully comprehensive individual report which will be delivered to you some time after the end of the Tor. An example of the report given to each of last years’ participants is available for download (pdf file “Example report”)A unique way to find out how your own body and mind have reacted to the Tor des Geants challenge.

How to take part in the research project? All you need to do is fill out the following form and submit your application. (Note: It is not certain that all candidates will fit the requirements for being selected as part of the survey sample; the research team therefore reserves the right not to accept certain applications).
