5.9.2 MVN Lycra suit

A Lycra suit is provided with the MVN Link system. The MVN Lycra Suit is available in 5 different sizes

(S, M, L, XL and XXL). Before putting on a suit, ensure that the size is appropriate; refer to Table 7 in

the appendix for this information. The suit must be tight fitting, therefore choose the appropriate suit

size. Note that the fabric is stretchable, a medium size suit can fit to both a short muscular athlete (e.g.,

1.60 m, 70 kg) and a tall slim person (e.g., 1.75 m, 65 kg).

Take care when putting on the suit; you are working with delicate materials. The subject is advised to

wear closely fitting shorts and a tight shirt underneath the MVN Lycra Suit. Other clothing can be worn

on top, no connection or line-of-sight is needed to the external world other than the wireless data link.

Follow these steps to put on the suit:

Important:

 The zip is at the front of the Lycra suit.

 Do not pull aggressively on the material, work gradually from the feet to the neck.

5.9.2.1 Putting on the Lycra suit

Below are a few simple steps to help put on the Lycra suit. Again it is advised to watch the video on the

tutorial portal for more detailed, visual information.

1. Unzip the zipper.

2. The subject should wear only tight shorts and t-shirt and socks at this stage.

3. Slide the legs through the lower part of the suit. Put the feet through the loops underneath the trouser

legs, the zip channel should be placed in the front! A tight material is chosen for optimal attachment

of the MT’s, so take time to pull up the suit bit by bit until it fits comfortably.

4. When the suit is at the correct height, put one arm through the sleeve and use the other arm to pull

the suit around the shoulder. Follow the same procedure for the other arm.

5. To minimize sliding of the MT’s on the arms, place the thumbs through the loops at the end of the

sleeves. This can also be done after putting on the gloves.

6. Zip up the zipper

7. If possible pull lightly at the suit around the shoulders and neck, so the suit can divide the stretch

well, and fit comfortably.

5.9.2.2 Placing the MT’s in the Lycra suit

Upon delivery, the Lycra suit will come with MTx inside already. However, for changing suit sizes or after

washing, you will need to put the motion trackers back in the suit. It is advised to do this when the

“empty” suit is already on the subject. The video on the tutorial portal shows how to do this best..
