Welcome to the world of sports supports
Are you sensitive to well-being in sport and the preservation of 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:
- 150 candidates
- Gender: Female/Male
- 18-50 years old
- Can go to BTWIN Village, 4 rue professor Langevin, 59000 Lille, between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Once in September and once in November/December in a 1 hour slot/
Necessary information :
- Age
- Sports practices/habits
- 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 telephone cable that you place on a tape measure or ruler.
Useful information :
- Location: BTWIN Village (+ at home), 4 rue du professor Langevin, 59000 Lille.
- Session 1: from September 4 to September 29
- Session 2: from November 13 to December 15
- Duration of the test: 1 hour
- Slot: individual
Framed/autonomous conditions:
Laboratory test supervised by a research engineer
+
Self-test at home
Product tested:
Prototype of high-end prevention/performance knee brace.
Remuneration conditions:
Test paid at the hourly minimum wage on a temporary basis based on the time spent in the DECATHLON laboratory - 2 hours covered for each session.
(~20€/laboratory session or 40€ for the complete completion of the study - registration required at the agency if your profile is selected - travel costs not covered).
Other information :
How to know your knee size? We explain to you (see video)!
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.
