Research
ESTABLISHED — established foundations; EMERGING — an area with evidence limitations; EXPERIMENTAL — an unverified hypothesis. The label concerns the stated question, not every related practice.
How to work with experimental biosomatic hypotheses
An experimental hypothesis needs a testable question; a label or personal impression is not evidence.
HRV: context matters more than a single score
Interpreting HRV requires information about the recording, conditions and chosen measure.
Breathing: physiology, practices and limits
Evidence for breathing practices must be assessed for a specific technique, outcome and participant group.
Sleep, circadian rhythms and recovery
Sleep pressure and circadian timing are related but distinct parts of sleep regulation.
Autonomic regulation under load: from mobilization to recovery
Stress responses and recovery are physiological states that cannot be reduced to one measurement.
A hypothesis may be tested, but must not be presented as fact before sufficient reproducible evidence exists. Publishing a hypothesis on UDAF Soma does not validate it.
