$5 Gift Card for Research Study Participants

Hello Students,

My name is Darby Lindgren, and I am a senior Exercise Science student and an URGO researcher this summer at Augsburg. I am investigating a modified version of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test in Division III male college soccer players and need healthy male Augsburg College students (ages 18-24) to participate in this study as part of the control group. You may not be currently a part of an Augsburg athletic team.

This study involves a half-hour visit to Kennedy Center Physiology lab (Room 309) for Functional Movement Screen testing and a video of a single-leg squat. Participants will receive a $5 gift card to Target. You may also stick around for further research testing and another $5 gift card.

You can reach me at: lindgre6@augsburg.edu to get more details or to schedule an appointment time.

Thank you!

Darby Lindgren
