Immune system markers, training and oral heath in athletes
12 September 2017
We are looking for triathletes, runners, cyclists and swimmers in and around Birmingham. We are investigating markers that may be useful in monitoring athletes who are at risk of overtraining and vulnerable to infection. Athletes will record a training diary and daily log of general well being over a 5 week period, provide daily saliva samples over 15 consecutive days and undergo a free oral health check-up at the UoB Dental school. It is expected to take around 5 hours over the 5 weeks.
