Symptom variability following acute exercise in ME-CFS: a perspective on measuring PEM

[Dolphin]

I like the dot plots - much more transparent than just measures of means and standard deviations. But I still wish they'd mark p values on the charts so we can see if any of this might be more than just random.

The tables in the main text highlight which are and are not statistically significant.

We should demand to measure lactate levels, Oxygen vs DO. Metabolites....
I mean sport science is not new, I don't understand why CFS is like just ask questions instead of using common sense testing.

People have measured VO2 in patients more than once, lactate levels more than once. But for every researcher, commonsense testing may take more funding than they have. Surveys cost next to nothing. The testing requires you hire a technician to gather the blood, and pay for all the assay materials, and for someone else to process them...

Other things were measured in study two just not discussed in this paper. This paper is one that discusses that

I think there are others also.

I don't think this was shown in the thread - apologies if it was - link for the above:
