Yeah.

So whose responsibility is that? Yeah.

That's the question.

It totally depends on the situation, right? So like in our lab...

we put the first line of defense on whoever's collecting the data, right?

Yeah, so data hygiene, obviously, coming first.

And,

like, procedurally.

Yeah,

yeah, sure.

Yeah, right, right, right.

Like, if you are doing three trials of something and you get instant feedback of a max value or whatever, and one trial is, like, 50 percent higher yeah like having the common sense to be like either we didn't get max efforts on those first ones or we did something wrong and maybe it was like a jump and they forgot to keep their hands on their hips so their height way increased or something right so there's common sense there but then there's also like you get a time series back of a force you know your jump jump software will show you what the jump looked like and knowing enough about how you got the data, why you collected it the way you did to be able to look at that and really quickly go, shoot, something was off.

You don't have to know what it is.

You don't necessarily have to fix it, but just to know like, yeah,

100%.

It's funny you say that because that actually reminds me of how at a previous job I was at, we figured out that one of the force plates was in the process of breaking because after looking at the counter movement jump analysis, it was like, well, hang on.

The left side is putting out like 50% of the right consistently across these three jumps.

But we tested him with everything else and he doesn't have any issues with his left

side.

But again, if you weren't at least perceptive enough to recognize this...

The consequence of this.

You would

say, we need to improve his breaking impulse on this side.

I

need to do a full workup on his left lower limb.
