  • Discussion of ethical principles including informed consent, confidentiality, and data integrity.

    • Main Results:

    • Challenges exist in coordinating ethical approval for multicentre trials.
    • Ongoing monitoring can detect research fraud, and reduced secrecy aids auditing.
    • Informed consent requires full risk disclosure and participant competence, avoiding undue pressure.
    • Placebo trial considerations and equitable treatment in diverse societies are critical.
    • Publication of findings must be fair, balanced, and free from bias or misconduct.

    Conclusions:

    • Strengthening ethical review processes and oversight is vital for exercise science research.
    • Adherence to ethical principles ensures participant welfare and research integrity.
    • Improved training in research ethics and editorial practices can mitigate misconduct and improve scientific reporting.
