Hello, Welcome to the world of sports supports. Are you sensitive to well-being in sport and maintaining a good quality of life? You are in the right place !
You arrive at the heart of an innovation project which, not by magic but by science, will invent the maintenance of tomorrow. We cannot prevent an injury but we can help prevent it! The latest research into the functioning of the human body in Decathlon's laboratories has created a solution that strengthens the body by boosting movement control and promoting motor performance.
This is why we need you to come and test the different technical solutions envisaged. Are you ready to join the adventure?
Profiles sought:
- 30 candidates
- Gender: Female/Male
- 20-45 years old
- Being able to go to EURASPORT, Lille university hospital center (Roger Salengro Hospital) between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. ( 413 Av. Eugène Avinée, 59120 Loos )
Necessary information :
- Age
- Sports practice
- Knee circumference
A knee turn, seriously? And yes in a development process we test our ideas on prototypes and they are not feasible in all sizes. That's why we need your knee circumference.
To take it is easy, all you need is a tape measure (the simplest) and take the measurement (the circumference of the thigh) between 5 and 8 cm above the center of the kneecap (hard part at the end of the knee). You can take the measurement several times with the leg semi-flexed and keep the smallest value. You should not tighten the skin. If you don't have a tape measure, you can use a string or a telephone cable that you place on a meter or a ruler.
Useful information :
- Location: Eurasport, 413 Av. Eugène Avinée, 59120 Loos.
- Date: 03/04 to 30/05
- Duration of the test: 1 hour
- Slot: individual
Framed/autonomous conditions:
Laboratory test supervised by a research engineer.
Product tested:
Prototype of high-end prevention/performance knee brace.
Program :
Home at Eurasport / Checking knee size
Presentation of the test / We equip ourselves / Familiarization with the task
We do the test:
1) Precision task with eyes closed (sitting)
End of the test / We release you
Remuneration conditions:
Test paid at hourly minimum wage for temporary work (registration required in agency if your profile is selected).
If the knee size transmitted is not the correct one, the test cannot take place and the tester will therefore not be paid.
Other information :
How to know your knee size? We'll explain!
Take a measuring tape (dressmaker’s meter) with you. The measurement is taken on the strong leg (with which you shoot a ball) on the skin (Not on clothing)
- Standing, place the foot of your strong leg on a step 10 cm high ( knee slightly bent ). No need to contract the muscle.
- Start from the center of the kneecap and measure 8 cm upwards (on the thigh).
- In this position and at this distance from the center of the kneecap, measure your thigh circumference .
To make it easier, ask a loved one to take the measurement for you.
