By accessing and participating in the Thresh Core Engagement Study ("Study"), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not participate in the Study.
To participate in this Study, you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Have an intermediate or higher fitness level (beginners are excluded for safety reasons)
- Own a modern smartwatch (Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch, or compatible device) capable of running sensor logging applications
- Have established gym experience and awareness of proper core engagement
- Be physically capable of performing the required exercises safely
- Not have any recent injuries that have not been cleared by a physician
The Thresh Core Engagement Study is designed to collect movement data to train an AI model for detecting injury-risk patterns in real-time. Your participation involves:
- Registering with demographic information (age, sex, weight, height, fitness level)
- Recording yourself performing 10 exercises using sensor logging applications on your smartwatch
- Creating TWO separate recordings per exercise: Recording 1 (E - Engaged/Optimal Core) and Recording 2 (D - Disengaged/Compensatory Risk)
- Each recording should be approximately 10 seconds in duration
- Uploading your recordings to Sensor Logger Cloud with proper naming conventions
Participation is voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time without penalty.
IMPORTANT: By participating in this Study, you acknowledge and accept the following:
- Exercise carries inherent risks, including but not limited to muscle strain, joint injury, and other physical harm
- You are responsible for using sub-maximal loads (30-50% of your typical training weight)
- You must maintain total control of the weight at all times, especially during Protocol B (loose core)
- You should stop immediately if you experience genuine pain or discomfort
- You are performing exercises at your own risk and are solely responsible for your safety
- Thresh and its team members are not liable for any injuries, damages, or losses resulting from your participation
If you have been injured recently and have not been cleared by your physician, you are prohibited from participating.
