Breast Motion Discomfort Survey

The SFU Run Lab is conducting an online survey in which we ask women to report discomfort or pain they feel in their breasts during different types of physical activity. The goal is to better understand which exercises cause the most discomfort to help improve breast support and exercise participation and/or performance. Our aim is to tailor future projects based on the exercises that are the greatest barrier for females engaging in physical activity.

We are seeking participants who: 1) are healthy individuals who self-identify as women; 2) aged 18 – 60; 3) regularly participate in physical activity; 4) had no previous reconstructive breast surgery or mastectomy; 5) are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding; 6) have no medical conditions affecting movement or pain perception; and 7) are able to understand written and spoken English.

This fully anonymized survey will take approximately 10–15 minutes to complete and will ask participants about demographics and physical activity levels during eligibility screening, and their breast discomfort during different types of physical activities, movements, and specific phases of soccer throughout the main section of the survey (following informed consent). Participants will be asked to describe the severity, location, frequency of discomfort, and any strategies used to manage or reduce it. All questions are mandatory and will be a mix of open-ended, close-ended, and multiple-choice questions. At the end of the survey, a word will be displayed. You can enter this word in a draw for a chance to win one of three $50 lululemon athletica gift cards.
