Hello and welcome to this Q&A episode of the ESG Fitness Podcast.

I am on my own today, partly because, in fact, fully because my schedule's been a bit strange, my back pain has been a bit strange, and I don't want to mess around Andy by saying I can do times and they're not doing them.

So I've decided to go so low.

So here is the first question.

Suspense. Only joking, I'm just trying to find the question. Here it is. I've heard that by the time research has been

published, it's already out of date as new research is continuously being researched.

How do you stay on top of the new information and how much importance do you place on being

up to date with current research or do you base most of what you do slash teach on just experience

you've had regardless of new information saying you should be doing something else?

Okay, well, definitely not the latter.

Okay, a few parts of this question. Firstly, yes, so research might be done in a lab and it can take

years to be published and there's numerous reasons for that. Some of them are good. So the good side is that

they're going through peer reviewed publication, which means that people have to read them, critique them, possibly more

experiments need to be done, or more information needs to be put in the research paper,

maybe different statistics, all these kind of things. So that takes a lot of time going back

and forward with the publisher. And that's sort of

jumping a step. So you actually need to have a publisher except that, is it a publisher or like,

anyway, a scientific journal except that they will publish your work. So yeah, you're, you're

completely right. It can be quite old in the sense that that research could have been done years

ago.

But I also think that's, I mean, it's kind of part of science and that's probably a good thing.

I guess the other side of it is that you need to repeat those experiments and prove that they weren't just a bit of a fluke or an error.
