My name is Paul Astles I am a post graduate student at Leeds Metropolitan University, England. I am currently studying for an MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology and I am planning on undertaking my thesis around Masters Athletes. Specifically, the aim of my research would be to investigate attitudes towards supplement use (for example, the research asks questions about what supplements are taken, perceived health or performance benefits of supplements and sources of advice regarding supplementation).

The data collection for this research is going to be an online questionnaire. The link to the questionnaire pack is beneath this text, simply copy and paste into your browser to go straight to questionnaire pack and begin. It is important that you read the first page of the questionnaire pack as this will hopefully answer any questions that you have regarding the benefits of the research. There are contact details on that first page should you have any further questions regarding the questionnaires or the research.

Thank you for your time

Paul Astles

I read a recent article about some supplements (don't remember exactly what they are, I'll have to go look) that are supposed to help older athletes. I wrote a little article about it on Xtreme Geezer and mentioned it in a post on a stand up paddle surfing forum I'm active on and it provoked a flurry of spammers and all kinds of heated debate.

I'll go look at the questionnaire and post a link on xgeez if it looks legit. Ya just never know who you're talking to on the web.

Ah yes, I looked back at the article--it's arginine. No idea if it's effective, I bought some on line at amazon, talked to my Doc, who said "it won't hurt you, can't say it will help" and started taking it last night. We'll see. I won't have any serious test since it's just me, and since I hurt everywhere, all the time I don't expect much, but what the heck. If I turn into superman I'll let you know. The article is at: http://www.xgeez.com/2011/01/supplement/

For myself, so far, the only magic supplement is advil.
