Chronotype-Dependent Cardiovascular Responses to Aerobic Exercise

The study aims to investiage whether circadian rhythm or the body’s internal clock impacts responses to aerobic exercise.
Participants in this study will be asked to do the following as part of the study:
1. Complete 4 separate in-person visits to the Exercise Physiology Laboratory located in Wade Hall. Two visits will be in the morning and two visits will be in the evening.
2. Perform 30 minutes of stationary cycling at two of the study visits.
3. Provide blood samples at some of the study visits.
4. Wear devices to measure their blood pressure and circadian rhythm outside of the laboratory.
The total time commitment for this study is approx. 9 hours.
Participants will be compensated $100 for completing all study procedures.

SLUMBRx Research Project

Scientists have found that not getting enough sleep can be connected to heart disease and diabetes. We are running a study called SLUMBRx to learn more about how sleep impacts these serious health conditions. If you join the SLUMBRx study, we will collect medical information from you at our state-of-the-art Exercise Science Research Laboratory at the University of Alabama. You can provide your sleep information from the comfort of your own home using special equipment. As a thank-you for participating in the SLUMBRx study, you will receive a free report about your health and we will give you a $200 Visa gift card!
