In this randomised controlled trial we compare three commonly used preventive methods to reduce the pain on injection op (PIP) with a control group. Our primary goal is to try and establish the most effective and easy to use method for preventing…
The primary goal is to examine the influence of weather condition on thermal load of an endurance run. Secondary we want to investigate the influence of fluid- and nutritional intake and clothing on thermal load of an endurance run.
The goal of the study is to registrate the cardiovascular, metabolic and thermalstrain during the participation of the WUCC time trial. Besides that we will look at different factors, like the weather, fluidintake and clothing, who possible have an…
