CONTRACT

August 22, 2024

The Physical Activity, Sport and Health (PASH) research group aims to improve knowledge on the beneficial effects of physical activity on individuals’ health with and without disease and of any age, as well as on the mechanisms leading to the development of sports injury.
Dr. Laurent Malisoux, Ph D, Head of this research group, is seeking a Research Assistant for the RRI_Interv5 project which aims to investigate the effect of different cushioning solutions on injury risk in a cohort of over 1000 runners. The project focuses on the influence of cushioning material at both the rear and the forepart of running shoes on injury risk in leisure-time runners. Three different shoe versions will be tested. In this randomised trial, each participant will receive a free pair of running shoes and will be asked to give access to their running data from their sport watch, as well as report any injury on a weekly basis in a dedicated web application.
The Research Assistant will mainly be responsible for the recruitment of the participants, their inclusion in the study, and their follow-up during the intervention. The Research Assistant will work under the supervision of Dr. Malisoux, PI of the project. The main tasks of the Research Assistant will be to monitor the progress of the recruitment process, to keep the shoe inventory up-to-date, to check the validity of the weekly injury forms, and provide the needed support to the study participants. This project also involves a private partner: Decathlon.
