I’m looking to get the opinions of cyclists during the COVID-19 lockdown! My name is Dr Adam Coussens, and I am a Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Newcastle University.

If you could complete the following relatively short questionnaire that would be much appreciated!

What is the purpose of the study?
This study aims to understand the effects of social isolation across three different timepoints during COVID-19 (Coronavirus) on athletes’ psychological wellbeing and perceptions of loneliness.

What are the possible benefits of taking part?
A benefit of participating in the study is that it will allow you to have a better understanding of the stress you might experience during COVID-19, the support available from existing social networks, psychological wellbeing, and any perceived feelings of loneliness.

Will participation in the study be kept confidential?
At no stage will your name be asked or revealed in any part of the study, and no reference will be made which could link you in the study. All information provided will be handled in strict confidence and will be seen only by the researchers.

If you have any questions regarding this research, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your time and sharing the questionnaire link!

You have been invited to
You have been invited to participate in the study as you are currently an athlete (sportsman or sportswoman) that plays sport competitively, at least to university/college level. You can either be an individual or team sport athlete, playing for any team/club. We are interested in your honest opinion on how you perceive stress, perceive available support, received support, satisfaction of this support, psychological wellbeing, and loneliness during COVID-19.

Well, that’s me out !

“If you, like me, have found cycling to be of great help during the COVID-19 lockdown, then I would love to get your opinion!”
Um – so if I share your opinion on the matter then you’d like to get my opinion for your academic research. No sign of bias there then? Is this the state of academic research?
