NEW BALANCE IS LOOKING FOR SOME RUNNERS(18-55 yrs old)…check out the info below…
The state of the art New Balance Sports Research Laboratory is about to start a large research study focused on transitioningfrom a heel strike landing pattern to a midfoot landing pattern while running. We are currently beginning to search for study participants.
Study details:
- This study will involve 11 trips to our research facility in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
- The first visit will last approximately an hour.
- The next 8 trips will take less than 30 minutes each.
- Finally, the last two trips will take about an hour each.
- This will be a total of 11 visits in just over 2 months with the 8-30 minute trips all within a one month period.
This is a really hot topic right now in the world of footwear and running biomechanics and we want to know more. If you are a heel striker (80% of runners are) and are interested in making a serious attempt at becoming a midfoot runner, this is your chance! If this is something you might be interested in, reply to this email and we can discuss further. Thank you!
