BASES Student Webinar Series – Furthering your career with Supervised Experience

Wednesday, 22 January 2025 12:30 - 13:30 GMT

Online

BASES Supervised Experience is a programme of professional development, skill acquisition and supervised practice providing the environment and guidance to facilitate development as a sport and exercise science practitioner. Supervised Experience has been developed for aspiring sport and exercise scientists and is the recommended route to gaining BASES Accreditation for individuals earlier in their career, who do not have the extensive experience required to apply for accreditation via the direct route.

This webinar will outline the process of BASES Supervised Experience, including the supervision and reviewing and will be led by Dr James Wright and Dr James Malone who both have extensive experience of supervising and reviewing individuals through the Supervised Experience programme. The workshop will also provide an insight to Supervised Experience from Rebecca Blake, Bernardo Norte, Richie Cailes and Kai McAllister, who are currently going through the programme.

BASES Webinar – Beyond the Standard Fit: Breast Health and Bra Design for Women in Physically Demanding Occupations

Wednesday, 11 December 2024 12:00 - 13:00 GMT

Online

The BASES Occupational Performance Special Interest Group (OPSIG) aims to promote evidence-based practise amongst those undertaking research and/or scientific support with occupational groups in physically demanding job-roles. This includes but is not limited to military, security, fire, rescue and first responders. It draws on a number of specialist areas including: physiology, strength and conditioning, physical training, psychology, biomechanics, injury and rehabilitation. In this third webinar delivered through the OPSIG we will discuss breast considerations for females working in active occupations. We will start the webinar by presenting breast and bra issues that active women face and specifically how research has shaped the current sports bra fitting and issue service in place for Basic Training recruits in the British Army. There will be a focus on research that has investigated the interaction of bras with torso-borne equipment in both the Army and the Police. In the discussion of bra design, it is never a case of one size fits all. Recent research has demonstrated that individual variability in breast size can have significant consequences on thermoregulatory, mechanical and perceptual properties of the breast. This webinar will also aim to provide insight as to why these breast size-dependent variations should therefore be considered in the user-centred design of bras for sport and those in active occupations. Lastly, we will highlight the knowledge gaps in this area and future challenges. 

It will explore: current exercise guidelines, problems around prescribing those exercise guidelines and solutions to help patients meet the desired exercise targets.
