University Project
« on: Oct 24, 2012, 05:03 AM »
Hi all,

I am a product design student of Manchester Metropolitan University and I'm doing a major project on Weightlifting & Weight Training.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice, research, contacts or ideas that I could use in my project.

All will be much appreciated biggrin:)  -Dan

Is the project theoretical, for academical purposes only, or it has already a possible field of aplication?


Wichi is the goal of the project? (individual records improvement, elite team, massive sport?)

I know there have been similar topics on the forum on this same thing.  Do a quick search will bring them up.  Also look at the references section for ideas.

Arturo - basically the project is for academical purposes, for now, but if the end product and design is good enough it could well lead on to endorsements, companies using it, etc. For now, I am just posting on forums to gain advice and points of view from other weightlifters. I am looking for a common problem that people face when using weights that could have a product to help (for example, poor posture when lifting - back brace to help keep back straight)

Andy - Thanks, I will have a look
