Episode notes
Importance of Philosophy of Science
- The philosophy of science, crucial for proper inference in research, is undertaught in sports science.
- This lack of understanding affects how researchers approach and interpret data, potentially leading to misinterpretations.
The "Chain of Research"
- Models used for practical application should align with applied research, creating a "chain of research."
- This chain goes from mechanistic research to applied research, then to real-world practice and feedback.
Jumping from Mechanism to Practice
- Past errors in exercise science stem from jumping from mechanism to practice without applied research.
- Examples include flawed recommendations on rest intervals, compound movements, and meal frequency.
