Motion & lifestyle study

summer 2026

This study is projected to begin late june

Study Details:

This study includes 108 total activities completed across multiple sessions. Subjects should expect to commit to approximately 6 study days spread across 6–9 weeks. While we are flexible with scheduling and understand you may need accommodations, ideally subjects should be available to commit to study days lasting approximately 5–6 hours to help ensure efficient completion of activities and study timelines.

The study includes a wide variety of lifestyle and movement-based activities. Some activities are physically demanding, while others are more relaxed and low intensity.

Subjects should wear comfortable athletic clothing and appropriate footwear for movement-based activities. Athletic wear, and wear appropriate outdoor (workout/running) shoes is HIGHLY recommended. Bring all necessary food and water for the day.

Upon arriving the day of your appointment we will require the completion of a Non-Disclosure Agreement, a W-9 tax form and a participant intake form. Staff will explain protocols in detail and continue with collection.

While appointments are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, participation is dependent on meeting demographic requirements. If demographic quotas are met prior to your scheduled appointment, we may need to cancel your time slot. In the unlikely event this happens, you will be notified at least 24 hours in advance.
