Hi guys, I am in my final year as a sport and exercise student at Staffordshire University conducting research for my dissertation. If you are devoted cyclist who trains hard and races even harder, an individual that rides a bike just for fun or somebody who attends the gym, I need you! Please help me by filling in this short 10 minute survey, it would be much appreciated.

After you have filled out the survey there is a information sheet detailing what the research is trying to find out, if you are intrested or have a questions dont hesitate in contacting me.

Here is the link

Many thanks in advance

    Quite an interesting survey..

    It seemed very geared towards symptoms of depression though, and some of the questions were quite similar..
    Always remember.... Wherever you go, there you are.

    I tried this survey and after page 1 it returned me rather than went to the next page.

    Repetition is the sign of a good survey / questionnaire

    Just finished the survey, and as someone has already pointed out, it does seem much more tailored to a depressive mood, and I think you should have included both extremes, maybe over-euphoric as well.

    I can not stand surveys with those stupid Strongly agree / Agree / Disagree / Strongly disagree.

    You either agree, disagree or don't care either way.

    How do you quantify the difference between agree and strongly agree?

    It's the same with the 0-10 ratio, what someone believes is a 10 someone else would never give a 10 because they don't believe in perfection.

    It's open far too much to interpretation and nothing definitive is achieved, basically marketing felt they needed to add a spin to the Yes/No boxes and so created these silly variables that mean nothing.
