<b>‘Bacon Can Cure Nosebleeds’ </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">was an actual study done by researchers!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">When you read research papers along with all the details surrounding them it really is quite fascinating and certainly, makes you think. Take this scientific study ‘</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bacon Can Cure Nosebleeds</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">’ as an example…. </span>

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to a study conducted by Ian Humphreys and his team, bacon can quickly and effectively treat a nosebleed by serving as a nasal tampon. For this bizarre method to work, one must plug the bleeding nostril with a piece of </span></i><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/education/2012/jan/23/improbable-research-pork-nosebleeds"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">cured pork</span></i></a><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The meat must be uncooked.</span></i>

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">At Detroit Medical Center, Humphreys and his colleagues tested their bacon hypothesis on a girl who had Glanzmann thrombasthenia, a rare hereditary disease that causes prolonged bleeding. After sticking a piece of cured pork inside the girl’s bloody nose, the bleeding stopped immediately.</span></i>

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The results of this bizarre scientific research were published in the Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology. The researchers acknowledged that doctors had used cured pork to treat nosebleeds in the past. However, the practice was discontinued.</span></i>

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Humphreys and his colleagues speculate that the high risk of acquiring parasitic and bacterial complications from stuffing one’s nose with cured pork caused the unconventional treatment to be abandoned.</span></i>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">..OR this one….</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">It brings up a lot of questions about the validity of scientific studies, doesn’t it? </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Whether it be the duration, the organisation funding the study, the number of subjects or the even the method of ‘proving or disproving’ something scientifically. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">In fact don’t you hate how much conflicting evidence we see in the fitness industry?</span>

&nbsp;

<b>The Problem</b>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">What I find interesting is that if you read research papers you will see how sketchy and conflicting it can be when it comes to the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">evidence</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. However, when a study is done across a long period of time, on a large group of subjects and they are from a variety of levels &amp; backgrounds it offers a far more robust argument for its results. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">For example, many studies around movement, biomechanics, force, loads and relevant topics we PT’s might be interested in, usually average 20-30 subjects. The subjects are often young athletes at the university that are conducting the study. Also while the ‘start point’ is often ‘</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">all subjects are healthy adults</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">’ they rarely (if ever) have an assessment to check they are starting with a common ‘biomechanical’ start point.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Yet you would imagine this would be a vital component for a biomechanics study, don’t you think? </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Consider that if you are analysing loads and forces on the limbs of one subject who has a tight sciatic nerve, another subject in the study has a functional leg length discrepancy and another has an overactive pec minor creating a stiff thoracic spine - ALL of whom are ‘</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">healthy adults</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">’...well how much will these very common </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">intrinsic</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> biomechanical compensations give you a different starting load in joints? Or a limitation of the individual’s movement that differs from the other subjects? </span>

&nbsp;

<b>The Evidence</b>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">With this in mind, if you consider a study with the input/output repetition of 4,500 subjects across 20+ years, from GB levels to sedentary, with an intrinsic biomechanical assessment at each point of analysis, the work we did was pretty groundbreaking. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The high volume of data allowed us to establish a system which we have developed into the high standards of content that we now teach exercise professionals like YOU, during our workshops. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Our sample size = 4500 subjects.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Our study duration = 20+ yrs </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The results we discovered, allowed us to develop a simple system based on how to assess the entire integrated system, from the joints, muscles and nerves. Which allows YOU to screen and prescribe exercises to improve capacity &amp; function in every area of the body and in everyone.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">How does this affect YOU the exercise professional?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Learn a system and always have a methodology to your programme design for beginners, elite, elderly and right through to post rehab, and be confident in the fact that it is backed by a whole stack of evidence in the real world!</span>
