      Hi Poppy,
      Good question – I worked with a disability athletics coach to design the frame as well as 4 athletes during the process to make sure I was on the right track. I did some testing with these athletes and showed that the frame had a positive impact on performance – as it was adjustable, individuals were able to move pieces around to suit them and their unique needs. At the end of the project I gave the frame to the coach and their organisation so that anyone wanting to try athletics could use it. Anyone can use the frame as a starting point, so I hope so!
