CURRENT PROJECTS 


IRONMAN-30 PROJECT

As curators for three decades worth of past medical and performance data from the Ironman World Championship (Kona, HI), EPPL personnel are tasked with it’s management and safekeeping.  This work is carried out utilizing the EPPL’s Global Triathlon Safety Database, and represents over 2,000 man-hours of effort in collaboration with Dr. Douglas Hiller.  As one of the world’s more robust longitudinal performance-based data sets on elite athletes, we aim to apply this information to improve ultra-endurance safety worldwide. 


SOCIAL ISOLATION DURING PREGNANCY & POSTPARTUM STUDY

Preliminary research indicates that the pregnancy and postpartum times are unique social experiences for many women.  To this point, it is empirically unclear to what extent women are at risk for feeling particularly isolated and lonely, though many anecdotal accounts have been given.  With this survey-based study, we aim to understand the social impact of various timepoints throughout pregnancy and postpartum and also determine relationships with physical health behaviors.  If you are interested in participating in this study and would like more information please contact Ariel Aguiar Bonfim Cruz.
