StrainSense supports Progressive Sports
Product News Wednesday, May 18, 2011: StrainSense Limited
The Challenge
Progressive are a Sports research and design companybased at Loughborough University's Sports Technology Institute. They wanted to measure the tension exerted bysports bra straps and underbands so that the 3D motion testing of the garmentscould be normalised.
Without a suitable product available on the market tohelp them do this Progressive required a bespoke solution.
The Solution
Working with StrainSense, the team developed a small handheld strain gauge that enabled quick handheld measurements to be made duringtesting. Using a digital ossiliscope todisplay the results adjustments to each bra could be made in real-time.
The Results
The bespoke solution has enabled Progressive to improvethe quality of its testing and findings to a level that previously had not beenpossible. Ross Weir, Innovations Director of Progressive comments “Working withStrainSense to develop a bespoke solution meant that we could use the testingresults to develop a product that met our customers’ needs.”
