COACHING STUDY

ARE YOU A RUNNING OR CYCLING COACH?

IF YOU ANSWERED YES, we encourage you to apply for our upcoming study.

Motus7 focuses on data collection for sensor teams developing wearable health and fitness technology. We are interested in technology that people really want to use. This study is a little different for us as we are currently recruiting 10 running and 10 cycling coaches for a research team looking at what data coaches actually utilize in their planning and interactions with their athletes. Coaches that are selected will be paired with 3 sets of athlete data and asked to present a custom workout plan based on the information they are provided.

Coaches will be paid $3,750 for full participation in this project.

Interested applicants will answer a few screening questions and are required to submit a CV below.

“The project is assisting in the development of a coaching tool that will improve the analysis, reporting and application of training data for athletes. We are using this project to identify what data/features athletes perceive as important, as well as what data/features are more applicable for a coach. In addition, the project will examine how data outputs affect programming as a coach, as well as execution/adherence as an athlete. The project needs input and feedback from high level, experienced coaches.” - Research Team
