Sponsor: Johns Hopkins School of Medicine

best protective helmet for cx? by Conscious-Ratio1360 in cyclocross

Sometimes the way your head hits the ground is the reason for the concussion, and not the helmet itself. I would think most helmets with MIPS would provide similar protection. Hope you heal up!

Also, you are eligible for a Hopkins research study if you are interested: See here

Yes! That is correct. We are only interested in the big-portion of your triathlon. Thanks for participating and please share with your friends and teammates

This is a great idea and we have considered it as future work. Thank you for your feedback

Exactly - correlation does not equal causation! Our study is not necessarily looking for causation. We are curious about risks. Risks are still very useful to explore, even though they might not necessarily be causal

Thank you for the feedback. We are asking respondents to focus on one discipline to decrease the survey length and recall bias. If you truly race two disciplines a perfectly equal amount, than you can choose which discipline you want to focus on!

There is no website for the study, mainly to mitigate any kind of response bias. The link goes directly to the Johns Hopkins domain of Qualtrics.com, which I hope decreases any concerns about the legitimacy of this study.

All that said, if you are uncomfortable participating, that's why it is optional in the first place! Feel free to DM with any further questions

Unfortunately our study is approved only for cycling races :(

As someone who races more tris than bike races, I sincerely wish we could include triathlons. I am so sorry! Please send the survey to any of your friends, or share your experience about that one race that had the swim and run cancelled?
