From a request received from a BBC TV Researcher….
“I hope you don’t mind me contacting you. I am emailing from the BBC where I work on a BBC2 sciences series called ‘Trust me I’m a Doctor’.
We are looking for volunteers for an experiment on Monday 27th June to see how different fabrics affect the way you sweat and smell. The results will be analysed by the University of Manchester.
I was wondering whether any members of the Glasgow mountain bike club would be interested in taking part. We are looking for a group of 20 people to do 2 training sessions (for one hour) at a spin class. They would wear t-shirts we give them and then after the hour a quick under arm swab will be taken. That’s so the scientists can look at the bacteria you sweat out.
We would then like you to come back on another occasion later in the week to do the same process, this time wearing a different type of t-shirt. We can then compare the two fabrics.
If any of your members, it doesn’t have to be 20, would be interested in taking part please do get in touch. If you are able to share my flyer (attached) to the members that would be fantastic.
Any questions just give me a shout and I look forward to hearing from you.”
