Ethics in Research

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Area of Science:

Sports Science
Transdisciplinary Research
Transformative Research

Background:

Traditional sports science research often lacks practitioner involvement.
The demand for immediate performance can hinder experimental dynamics in sports.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel methodology for fundamental field research in sports science.
To establish a transdisciplinary and transformative approach through researcher-practitioner partnerships.

Main Methods:

A four-stage methodology is detailed: hypothesis development, co-designed experimental setup, implementation and analysis, and spin-off identification.
Emphasizes a symmetrical partnership between researchers and practitioners.
The experimental setup is designed to disrupt ordinary professional practices.

Main Results:

The methodology fosters a consubstantial relationship between scientific and professional aims.
Encourages the co-production of knowledge.
Identifies scientific and professional spin-offs from the research.

Conclusions:

This approach bridges the gap between scientific inquiry and practical application in sports science.
Promotes sustainable research practices by balancing performance demands with experimental exploration.
Facilitates mutual learning and knowledge co-creation between researchers and practitioners.
