So, i got a packet in the mail today with a letter and two brochures. Basically, the AFA athletics dept and biology dept are doin some studies starting this summer when we (2012) inprocess.. the athletics dept is doin an acclimatization study, basically giving some people iron pills and others a placebo to see if increased iron will help acclimatize you quicker/better... it lasts all 4dig year nearly.
the 2nd one is from the bio dept, interested in preventing upper respiratory infections like colds and stuff that develop under stress. they'll be using zinc & placeboes as well. this one lasts only til september. should be noted that neither of these are mandatory, it's all voluntary and involve a couple blood tests..
i think, being from sea level, there may be a benefit from the acclimatization one. so i'll most likely give it a shot.. i know we've got a few bio majors on here and wonder if they know anythin bout this
i hope it's not a secret or anything tryin to make 2012 beasts that acclimatize 120% hahaha
