Understanding Practice-Based Evidence vs. Evidence-Based Practice
Practice-based evidence involves gaining wisdom through experience, relying on observation and outcomes without delving into the underlying mechanisms, whereas evidence-based practice emphasizes understanding the physiological and biomechanical processes behind training and nutrition. The challenge arises from the divergence between these two approaches due to career paths focused on either practical experience or scientific research, leading to a disconnect in applying knowledge effectively.
