Collaboration with Universities.

We want to involve people in our sector who read our blog that we collaborate with a magazine in the sector.

On this occasion we want to comment that Telju Fitness has closed a collaboration agreement with the Department of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences of the University of Castilla-La Mancha.

They presented us with a project that they are carrying out in their department and they requested our collaboration. Project that we welcomed, as it could not be otherwise, with the same enthusiasm that we have always shown towards innovative projects, be they Universities, as in this case, or private companies.

We take this opportunity to recover a criticism we made in an article for the Newsletter of the digital magazine in which we lamented the disconnection that exists between the university world and the company. We continue to say that we must establish closer links between university and business that allow research to be developed in those fields that are particularly interesting, such as fitness for the development of new products.

To emerge from the crisis, the strategy should be based on innovation, and this, in turn, be based on research as a strategy. Even so, we believe that collaboration is not feasible, in general, between companies and our sector. Transferring this issue of collaboration to the fitness sector, little can be done because most companies are marketing fitness products, that is, they do not manufacture in our country no matter how many say yes, therefore, they do not count with adequate facilities that can carry out projects such as those in which we have recently become involved.

We concluded our article by launching a question: “If in our sector there are very few companies that we manufacture, who will have the Departments of Physical Activity and Sports Science of the Universities to request collaboration in the design of an innovative product or system? “iPhone 5\”,\”type\”:\”phone\”,\”user-agent\”:\”Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 9_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/601.1.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/9.0 Mobile/13B143 Safari/601.1\”,\”capabilities\”:[\”touch\”,\”mobile\”],\”screen\”:{\”device-pixel-ratio\”:2,\”vertical\”:{\”width\”:320,\”height\”:568},\”horizontal\”:{\”width\”:568,\”height\”:320}},\”modes\”:[{\”title\”:\”default\”,\”orientation\”:\”vertical\”,\”insets\”:{\”left\”:0,\”top\”:0,\”right\”:0,\”bottom\”:0}},{\”title\”:\”default\”,\”orientation\”:\”horizontal\”,\”insets\”:{\”left\”:0,\”top\”:0,\”right\”:0,\”bottom\”:0}}],\”show-by-default\”:true,\”show\”:\”Default\”},{\”title\”�
