What People Have Said

“Being a research participant for the past 10 years has always been an incredibly positive experience. I have met many team members and everyone has been professional, respectful and knowledgeable. The lab space and environment is lively and inviting.  I would highly encourage others to become a participant. It is a great opportunity to meet the team, be part of enhancing athletic products and at times you receive valuable data from your performance.
 
The team at CSI are engaging, fun and personable. Once you participate once you will always be keeping an eye out for that email in your inbox, the one you get excited to open and see what new opportunities there are. The value of participating doesn’t stop after you have completed the study. There are follow up emails from John thanking participants and holiday greetings that are sent. As well as informing participants of the outcomes when research has been published. I am grateful to be involved- It’s always worth it.”

Validation Study Participant

The CSI Alberta’s Sport Product Testing group has the unique opportunity to interact with some of Canada’s top athletes and coaches. My experience as a User Testing participant was valuable on a couple levels. As a recently retired athlete I am still quite in touch with the latest in sport science, and the product I tested had to satisfy the standards I have developed over many years of training to be the best in my sport. As a national team coach, I am very interested in how wearable devices can be effectively utilized by my athletes during daily training. I really like the way Pro and John outlined their expectations for the product testing and their understanding of sport and technology made it easy for me to convey my experiences while using the product.

I had an awesome experience during product testing with the Sport Product Testing group at the CSI Alberta. The team working with me was very knowledgeable and professional throughout the whole testing process. They took the time to explain the science behind each step which made the whole experience very educational. I would definitely consider doing testing again with the Sport Product Testing group in the future.

“The Canadian Sport Institute AB – Sport Product Testing inspires confidence and reliability in a field where pseudoscience—and sometimes worse—can too easily dominate health and performance conversations.

On nearly every run, I think about the professional expertise and rigorous methodology behind the studies I’ve participated in at the Lab. When the waistband or heel of a pair of running shorts or shoes fits perfectly, I’m confident that company worked with the CSI Lab. And when the phone pocket on a different pair of shorts flops around or a pair of race shoes feels off, I assume the company didn’t bother with Sport Product Testing.

The team is fantastic to work with as a research participant, and it’s clear that their health and sport product clients are in the best possible environment for achieving top-tier product quality”
