A scientific model may have been tested for multiple generations than predictions maybe made as to the effects of a treatment based on the model
But the latest peer review...
There are certain truths about how the body responds to exercise that coaches knew for multiple generations many good undergraduate level exercise physiology textbooks or professors confirm these same truths
But then what happens is someone ignores all that and goes for the latest peer review article and claims something contradictory to decades of research by both coaches and academic exercise science and calls it evidence based
Today's article contradicts yesterday's
I would suggest that error analysis and statistical significance testing are not always the same thing
I do not have a problem with error analysis
But I think that in science people focused on models based on Algebra, Triginonetry and Calculus
In the newso called evidence based approach they started neglecting Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus in their model and actually had no model to make predictions at all
They just tested for statistical significance
