Female volunteer required for Progressive Sports Technologies sports bra study

Progressive Sports Technologies is seeking one female participant to be part of another sports bra study they are undertaking on Tuesday 1 October.

The participant should be aged between 18-34 and be a size 38B or 36C.

The testing period will be around 7.5 hours with breaks included. It will take part in the Sports Technology Institute (opposite SportPark).

The study will involve two sessions – firstly, a 15-minute bra fitting session to ensure you are the correct size.

The second session will be comparing the performance of 26 different sports bras, where you will be asked to run 26 times for 90 seconds. Small markers will be attached at key locations on the body and breast, allowing the motion of key body regions to be recorded (markers located in sensitive areas can be placed by the participant). Questions about the comfort and support of the bras will be asked before and after the testing of each bra.

The participant will receive £100 in Amazon vouchers as a thank you for taking part.

If you are interested in taking part please contact Olly Eades (olly@progressivesports.co.uk) or Jessica Thorpe (jessica@progressivesports.co.uk).
