I was referring to a number of other studies in the JSC. Which were published under the review chief editor Dr Kraemer. I didn’t 't mean to imply that all studies have incorrect conclusions. The criticism is in relation to Sports Science research and particular studies published in the JSC.
The first clinical trial in medicine with a properly randomised control group was for the streptomycin treatment of pulmonary tubersculosis ( 1948). Comparatively early research in Sport Science , were non randomised and with no controls. However many strength and conditioning textbooks base there guidelines on poorly designed studies.
Over the last 30 years there has been a enormous growth in properly planned, executed and reporting of research in medicine. Sport Science in contrast has been much slower to adopt the standards of research in medicine.
In regards to the two EMS studies , I am examining the findings and will provide some thoughts shortly.
