The Daily Bruin

Students, staff and faculty who are not currently performing weight training exercises are wanted for a study. Subjects are needed for a blood flow restriction exercise study. 

Participants will be allocated to either a BFR and exercise group or to an exercise alone group. Participants will be asked to exercise two times a week for about 20 minutes each for eight weeks. Those who complete the study will get $20 and a pizza party. 

If you have questions or if you would like to enroll, contact Jason Brumitt at jbrumitt@georgefox.edu.

Please make sure your mobile number is up to date by logging into MyGeorgeFox and clicking on the “Profile” tile. From there, click on the “Contact Details” menu and either add or edit the “Cell – Personal” phone type. There will be a system test in the next couple of weeks.
