Unfortunately due to ethics committee my project was not cleared in time for my start date and I was unable to complete it. My alternative project involved taking part in a test being performed by one of the PhDs in the lab. This involved comparing the agreement between two devices for non-invasive measuring of cardiac output at rest and different levels of exercise. I was also involved in data analysis of previous study data. I then had to create a report summarising the findings of the analysis which will be part of a paper currently being submitted for publishing.
