Scientists often think the public will believe anything when it comes to
new research, but studies show that this viewpoint is unproven

finally...
i have submitted PhD thesis today.
it was nearly 3 years of hardworking.
the story of my thesis is:
1. individual differences exist in response to elite athletes' conditioning (training + recovery activities)
= used single-case research designs
2. their training load, recovery, performance, and performance readiness are fluctuating daily
= used randomization tests to analyze mean differences between training phases
3. the fluctuation has trends
= used time series analysis (e.g. ITSACORR)
4. coaches and sports scientists want to predict athletes' performance and performance readiness
= used mathematical models (e.g. dynamic factor analysis and structural equation modeling).
i strongly believe my approach will change the way we assess elite athletes' conditioning.
it's not over yet (needs 2 months of thesis examination),
but feels great to accomplish something really BIG!
thank you all for your support.

juggling alters the structure of human brain
nature 427: 311-312, 2004
the subjects showed a structural change in brain areas that are associated with the processing and storage of complex visual motion after 3 month of training

what makes a champion swimmner?
talent identification
short distance: tall stature and long segment lengths
breathstroke + long distance: the shorter and stockier body builds

what is science?
science is the organized, systematic enterprise that
gathers knowledge about the world and condenses
the knowledge into testable laws and principles
