 Volunteers required for Podiatry Research

Andrew McMillan is a Podiatry honors student at LaTrobe University in Bundoora.

This year he is conducting a research project into the effect of foot orthoses on foot pressure patterns during running, and requires runners with a weekly mileage of 20 + km/wk for participation.  The runners would not need to be currently using foot orthoses.

The procedure would involve an initial musculoskeletal foot and ankle assessment, followed by running on a treadmill with and without foot outhouses for about 5 minutes each.  The equipment produces a detailed electronic impression of the pressure distribution across the plantar surface of the foot during running.

In total the process would require approximately 1 hour of time.

See attached PDF for further details and Andrew's contact details.

 Pole Vault is almost finished

Thanks to the patience and good old hard work of the overworked Ivan Harding, our pole vault is almost ready for use.

The club has ordered approx 8 poles that are currently in transit from the USA so come next summer season we will be up and going and ready for vertical action.

If any athletes, coaches, parents or interested people have ever considered becoming a coach, now is your opportunity.  The club would love to hear from anybody who would like to offer pole vault coaching to club members.  Please contact Allan Watson via e-mail.
