Effects of CVAC(tm) Process on Golfers' Performance and Health Studied in Scientific Investigation
The effectiveness of the Cyclic Variations in Altitude Conditioning(TM) (CVAC) process in improving golfers' performance and health parameters is being studied in a 10-week controlled scientific study. This could lead to larger studies regarding the alleviation of insulin resistance and other risk factors for diabetes.
Temecula, CA (PRWEB) June 15, 2007
CVAC Systems, Inc. and the Professional Golfers Career College (PGCC), Temecula campus announce the initiation of a controlled scientific study to investigate the effects of the Cyclic Variations in Altitude Conditioning (CVAC™) process on various golf-related parameters such as club head speed, and ball flight distance. Various physical and fitness conditions will also be measured. Moreover, reductions of LDL (bad) cholesterol and increases in testosterone are key outcomes to be evaluated.
The study protocol is being conducted under the guidance and approval of the IRC, a group of Institutional Review Board consultants.
The principal investigator of the study is Ronna Semonian, PT. As an instructor at PGCC, she teaches the Freshman and Sophomore students fitness for golf; physiology and exercise. Anne L. Friedlander, PhD., Director of the Major Project on Mobility within the Stanford Center on Longevity and Director of the Exercise Physiology Lab in the Clinical Studies Unit at the Veteran's Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System, is serving as a consultant on the project.
"Conducting a formal scientific and controlled golf performance research study under the guidance of an Institutional Review Board is indeed a unique endeavor in the business of golf. The enthusiasm of the students is exciting and we anticipate their positive dedicated participation in the study," commented Ronna Semonian the study's principal investigator.
"Although it may appear on the surface to be a fitness and golf performance study in healthy individuals conducted at a private college focused on golf career development, data from this study, if proven out, could provide an initial gateway to larger studies for the amelioration of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and risk factors for diabetes. Of particular importance is that the recruitment of 20 uncompensated volunteers for the study was accomplished in less than one week. This suggests that the potential for golf performance improvement is a strong motivator," commented Allen Ruszkowski, President and CEO of CVAC Systems, Inc.
"This study, and the collaboration with researchers from Stanford University and the Palo Alto Veteran's Hospital, is an example of how PGCC is dedicated to providing excellence and best practices to the education of our students. The researchers will utilize the latest state-of-the-art, golf swing dynamic analysis system here at PGCC," commented Dr. Tim Somerville, President and Founder of PGCC.
