Introduction

To improve the rigor of science, experimental evidence for scientific claims ideally needs to be replicated repeatedly with comparable analyses and new data to increase the collective confidence in the veracity of those claims. Large replication projects in psychology and cancer biology have evaluated the replicability of their fields but no collaborative effort has been undertaken in sports and exercise science. We propose to undertake such an effort here. As this is the first large replication project in this field, there is no agreed-upon protocol for selecting studies to replicate. Criticism of previous selection protocols include claims they were non-randomised and non-representative. Any selection protocol in sports and exercise science must be representative to provide an accurate estimate of replicability of the field. Our aim is to produce a protocol for selecting studies to replicate for inclusion in a large replication project in sports and exercise science.

Methods

The proposed selection protocol uses multiple inclusion and exclusion criteria for replication study selection, including: the year of publication and citation rankings, research disciplines, study types, the research question and key dependent variable, study methods and feasibility. Studies selected for replication will be stratified into pools based on instrumentation and expertise required, and will then be allocated to volunteer laboratories for replication. Replication outcomes will be assessed using a multiple inferential strategy and descriptive information will be reported regarding the final number of included and excluded studies, and original author responses to requests for raw data.

体育和运动科学研究复制选择方案的提议

介绍

为了提高科学的严谨性，理想情况下，需要用可比较的分析和新数据重复复制科学主张的实验证据，以提高对这些主张真实性的集体信心。心理学和癌症生物学中的大型复制项目已经评估了它们领域的可复制性，但在运动和运动科学方面还没有进行任何合作。我们建议在这里进行这样的努力。由于这是该领域的第一个大型复制项目，因此没有商定的协议来选择要复制的研究。对以前的选择协议的批评包括声称它们是非随机的和非代表性的。体育和运动科学中的任何选择协议都必须具有代表性，才能准确估计该领域的可复制性。

方法

拟议的选择协议使用多重纳入和排除标准进行复制研究选择，包括：出版年份和引文排名、研究学科、研究类型、研究问题和关键因变量、研究方法和可行性。选择用于复制的研究将根据所需的仪器和专业知识分层到池中，然后分配给志愿者实验室进行复制。将使用多重推理策略评估复制结果，并报告有关纳入和排除研究的最终数量的描述性信息，以及原始作者对原始数据请求的回应。
