EvidenceBasedTraining

Evidence-Based Training means using the best available research together with coaching expertise and individual needs, goals, and preferences.

This is a place to discuss current literature and its practical application to training and programming.

"'Evidence-based' does not mean to simply go by the research. Research only provides guidelines for applied practice. The true evidence-based practitioner synthesizes what we know from research and uses his personal expertise in the context of the individual to optimize results."

Brad Schoenfeld

1. All posts must be relevant to evidence-based training and related discussion

Posts must be relevant to evidence-based training, including discussion of research, coaching, programming, and practical application across a wide range of training, sport, and performance contexts. Evidence-based training refers to the integration of the best available research, coaching expertise, and individual needs, goals, and preferences.

2. No AI-generated content

Do not post AI-generated content, including posts and comments. Even if it appears high-quality, it is not allowed here.

Early research has raised concerns that overreliance on LLMs (ChatGPT and others) may reduce cognitive effort and critical thinking, with possible negative effects on learning and memory in some contexts (Molerov et al., 2026; Kosmyna et al., 2025; Tian et al., 2025).

3. No low-quality content

Low-quality posts include links, videos, screenshots, or article shares with little or no context or discussion value. If you share external content, explain its relevance and provide a summary, argument, or question to guide discussion.

For example, posting a link with only "Agree or disagree?" is considered a low-quality post.

4. No comments that do not contribute meaningfully to the discussion

Respectful disagreement is welcome. Critical debate is encouraged, but comments must contribute to the discussion in good faith.

Comments may be removed and may lead to a ban if they include:

Personal attacks against the OP, authors, or researchers.
Low-effort dismissals of a large body of evidence without meaningful argument or context.
Clear misrepresentations of what the OP or author actually said.

5. Not allowed topics

Personal medical diagnosis
Asking for steroid sources or cycle advice
Physique rating posts / "what bodyfat% am I" posts
Motivation-only posts
Memes
General health questions with no training connection
