Metascience in sport - research quality and risk of bias in sports science and medicine
15 November 2023
In a first, the AIS has commissioned a Post Doctoral research fellow to conduct research focused on metascience in sport science and medicine studies. Specifically, the project will explore avenues for improving the quality of scientific research in competitive sport.
This project will introduce the concept of meta-science to the sport community, demonstrate why this is necessary for sport, and provide some potential avenues for how sport science and medicine research could progress in the future.
