I am currently a final (third) year student at the University of Bristol (UK), undertaking a BSc (hons) in the Physiology degree course. My current research project is titled "The influence of fatiguing exercise on EMG power spectral frequency in human muscles composed mainly of slow or fast fibres", and is directed at three human muscles: tibialis anterior, biceps brachii, and orbicularis occuli, and the route of investigation is into the respective EMG properties of these muscles, and whether the predominant fibre type is a major factor in determining the fatigability of the muscles in question. This research project is accompanied by two other marked reviews, with the following titles: "The control of ventilation in exercise", and "Compare critically the roles of local chemicals on control of skeletal muscle blood flow during exercise". I am expecting to graduate in July 2000, and as such, I am now seeking advice on the best method of entering the field of sports physiology. I would ideally desire to join a "consultancy company", specialising in the physiological appraisal of sports persons, or even the general public if they desire. Therefore, I would be grateful if you or your colleagues could send me any details of prospective employment or a suitable higher degree (MSc, PhD etc). Alternatively, I would appreciate advice detailing other possible contacts or companies/institutions to whom I could apply. I greatly appreciate any assistance you render to me with regards my short or long-term future employment. I have enclosed a copy of my CV, in case it is of any benefit. Nicholas D.
