Biomechanics as a discipline is ideally placed to increase awareness and participation of girls and women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. A nationwide Biomechanics and Research Innovation Challenge (BRInC) centered on mentoring and role modeling was developed to engage high school girls (mentees) and early-mid-career women (mentors) in the field of biomechanics through the completion of a 100-day research and/or innovation project. This manuscript describes the development, implementation, and uptake of the inaugural BRInC program and synthesizes the research and innovation projects undertaken, providing a framework for adoption of this program within the global biomechanics community.

- The study explores how factors like age, body mass, and breast size affect breast satisfaction in women and its subsequent impact on their overall well-being and physical activity.
- Women with larger breasts reported lower satisfaction, whereas higher breast satisfaction correlated with better quality of life and increased physical activity.
- The findings suggest that public health initiatives should focus on improving breast satisfaction across different breast sizes to promote healthier behaviors and prevent negative health outcomes.
