Are you a military veteran who has been medically discharged from the UK Armed Forces (Regular or Reserve)? Would you be willing to participate in a research study focused on aspects of your physical activity, health and wellbeing?
We are looking for military veterans who have been medically discharged from the UK Armed Forces (Regular or Reserve), to take part in small (n=4) Focus Groups centred on your participation in team sport since your medical discharge. The term “team sport” includes adapted and non adapted sport, some examples are football, rugby (league or union), volleyball, basketball etc.
Focus groups comprise four veterans and one researcher and are expected to last a maximum of 1-1 ½ hours but may be less. Since they are online they can be organised at times to suit, so weekends or evenings if needed.
The focus groups are online (via Microsoft Teams), anonymous and will centre on the meaning of team sport for you, why you chose it over other forms of physical activity and what it is about team sport that made you engage in it.
If you would like to find out more about the research, or be willing to be a participant in a focus group please contact Clare Pope onpopec3@lsbu.ac.uk
