training methods
Have attendees experience the LMT training protocol
SCIENCE
Defined:
Systematic knowledge of the physical and material world
gained through observation and experimentation
Science = UNDERSTANDING
RESEARCH
Defined:
The process of performing a methodological study in order to
support a hypothesis or answer a specific question, with the
overall purpose to enhance understanding in a particular area
of interest
Research = UNDERSTANDING
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
FALSIFIABLE
Scientific Research = Falsification of a Specific Proposition
The point of scientific research is NOT to PROVE TRUTH, but
instead to FALSIFY a hypothesis
Falsification means the hypothesis can be conflicted by observation
E.g., “ViPR workouts burn lots of calories!”
NOT FALSIFIABLE
E.g., “ViPR workouts can burn more calories than a treadmill run
at equivalent intensity as measured by heart rate”
