Confirmation Bias in Sport Science: Understanding and Mitigating Its Impact
This paper explores the concept of confirmation bias in sport science, providing practical examples in the contexts of testing, training, and monitoring. By understanding how confirmation bias operates (ie, heuristic of decision making), we may develop strategies to mitigate its effects and promote more accurate and effective decision making in sport science (eg, performance).
