A product which prevents the cause of muscle injuries?

Hi, everyone.

I’m currently in the 3rd year of my university undergraduate course studying product design.

For my final major project I’m looking towards creating a product to prevent the cause of muscle (mainly severe) injuries while people participate in Outdoor and indoor physical activity. This will be primarily for Athletes but could also include things like Hiking, Camping, all range of activities.

I ask for your help, I looking to find areas and problems which you feel a product can be made to find a solution, or identify a product which isn’t very useful while you practice your activity.
For example if you go for a run, or play football/hockey, do some weightlifting or cardio training. Are there any muscle injuries you sustain regularly or occasionally which could be sorted with a new product?

Also if you could please explain any other positive or negative experiences when participating in outdoor or indoor physical activity.

Thank you for your time. Feedback will be much appreciated.
 
Just throwing out an idea out of the top of my head here, but I know a lot of athletes of several sports suffer shoulder problems due to weak rotator cuffs, and that one way to treat it by pulling the shoulder back (posterior-wise). Maybe you could do some sort of brace that promotes that repositioning?
