Joe Warne on Whether Sports Science is Broken

Like most of us, I place a great deal of trust in science and scientific research. However, recent work by Joe Warne and the Sports Science Replication Center calls into question many of the findings we routinely accept as established fact.In this episode of Born on the Trail: Going Longer, Joe and I explore how the scientific process actually works, where it breaks down and what the Replication Center has uncovered about the reliability of sports science research. We also discuss how athletes, coaches, and even academics can navigate an environment shaped by flawed incentives and publication bias, and how AI and big data can help us improve the quality of published research.This conversation allows you to better understand what evidence can and cannot tell us, and how to make more informed decisions amid an overwhelming amount of information.Looking for coaching or guidance?
