In addition to its status as a world class motor sport event, this weekend's Clipsal 500 Adelaide will provide the backdrop for a groundbreaking major research project carried out by the Australian Institute for Motor Sport Safety (AIMSS).
AIMSS Chairman, Dr Michael Henderson, expressed his excitement for the project and that another significant milestone has been reached for AIMSS.
"We are delighted that AIMSS has been able to link with Monash University to endorse and conduct these studies. The research team, led by Dr Trevor Allen and Dr Adele White, will monitor physiological changes to the body which occur during long races in difficult conditions for the three types of participants at the event. The tests will monitor levels of carbon monoxide, core body temperature and hydration status to identify any effects on performance and the effectiveness of existing devices used to reduce their effects."
