Why we need you:
Because we know that protective knee pads can sometimes wear out very quickly, at Decathlon, we want to make strong progress on this point.
Our goal is to create a methodology allowing us to precisely measure the durability of each of our knee pads currently in store, and even that of our competitors. We will then be able to rely on this sustainability measure to make even more relevant design choices on our next product developments and thus continually improve.
How to contribute:
We need you at the start of the project to answer simple questions about the knee pads that you have worn recently/that you are currently wearing (context of use, appearance of defects, etc.). This questionnaire will take you approximately 5 minutes to complete. This data will be very useful for us to know precisely the defects that prevent you from continuing to wear the products. They will also allow us to make an initial inventory of the sustainability of the different products currently on the market.
Sports concerned:
Please note, we are talking here about protective knee pads (falls) and not joint or ligament support knee pads.
The sports concerned are: volleyball, basketball, handball, futsal, dance.
The news :
The results of this first stage will be communicated to you during the months of March - April. In the meantime, stay connected to the project, some knee pad product tests could arrive on the platform soon ;)
