How the research connects to the formula

A performance study can measure physical signs, self-reported anxiety or task execution. Each measure answers a different question, even if the same preparation appears in the intervention.

The study’s dose and timing belong alongside its participants and setting. Research in a clinical population and research in a defined performance task should retain those differences.
