  • Apparel Brand Perceptions: an Examination of Consumers’ Perceptions of Six Athletic Apparel Brands
    Apparel Brand Perceptions: An examination of consumers’ perceptions of six athletic apparel brands by Katelyn Conway A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Merchandising Management (Honors Scholar) Presented June 15, 2017 Commencement June 2018 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Katelyn Conway for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Merchandising Management presented on June 15, 2017. Title: Apparel Brand Perceptions: An examination of consumers’ perceptions of six athletic apparel brands Abstract Approved: _____________________________________________________________ Kathy Mullet Brands are becoming more relevant in today’s society, especially in order to differentiate among competitors and in the eyes of the consumer. As a result of this relevance, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to maintain a strong brand perception among consumer markets. Therefore, it is fundamental for brands to understand how consumers perceive them and if this aligns with how brands want to be perceived. The purpose of this thesis is to understand the importance of branding and brand perception. An online survey was conducted to determine the perception of six apparel companies regarding ten characteristics. Key Words: Athletic brands, consumer perceptions Corresponding e-mail address: [email protected] ©Copyright by Katelyn Conway June 15, 2017 All Rights Reserved Apparel Brand Perceptions: An examination of consumers’ perceptions of six athletic apparel brands By Katelyn Conway A PROJECT submitted to Oregon State University University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Merchandising Management (Honors Scholar) Presented June 15, 2017 Commencement June 2018 Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Merchandising Management project of Katelyn Conway presented on June 15, 2017.

  • Preliminary Evaluation of Prototype Footwear and Insoles to Optimise Balance and Gait in Older People Hylton B
    Menz et al. BMC Geriatrics (2017) 17:212 DOI 10.1186/s12877-017-0613-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Preliminary evaluation of prototype footwear and insoles to optimise balance and gait in older people Hylton B. Menz1,2*, Maria Auhl1 and Shannon E. Munteanu1,2 Abstract Background: Footwear has the potential to influence balance in either a detrimental or beneficial manner, and is therefore an important consideration in relation to falls prevention. The objective of this study was to evaluate balance ability and gait patterns in older women while wearing prototype footwear and insoles designed to improve balance. Methods: Older women (n = 30) aged 65 – 83 years (mean 74.4, SD 5.6) performed a series of laboratory tests of balance ability (postural sway on a foam rubber mat, limits of stability and tandem walking, measured with the Neurocom® Balance Master) and gait patterns (walking speed, cadence, step length and step width at preferred speed, measured with the GAITRite® walkway) while wearing (i) flexible footwear (Dunlop Volley™), (ii) their own footwear, and (iii) prototype footwear and insoles designed to improve dynamic balance. Perceptions of the footwear were also documented using a structured questionnaire. Results: There was no difference in postural sway, limits of stability or gait patterns between the footwear conditions. However, when performing the tandem walking test, there was a significant reduction in step width and end sway when wearing the prototype footwear compared to both the flexible footwear and participants’ own footwear. Participants perceived their own footwear to be more attractive, comfortable, well-fitted and easier to put on and off compared to the prototype footwear.
