External Factors That Cause Controversy
Dr. Spracklen argues that the growing sport science is highly influenced by external factors that cause inaccurate hypotheses. The goal of sports science is to better understand the human body and discover how to achieve the best results possible in exercise. However, sport scientists are highly influenced by the companies and organizations funding them, whether it be to sell their product or the pressure placed on them to discover a breakthrough.Furthermore the taboo subject of scientific racism causes controversy. The need to feel politically correct stunts research along with the troubles of identifying genetic differences in races, if the concept of race, or Holy Blood, is even true.
