Speaker(s)
This session will offer IRB administrators, chairs, and members a comprehensive review of issues related to reviewing exercise science research in primarily SBER institutions. This session will describe key ethical and regulatory issues related to exercise performance, sports nutrition, and related interventions, and differentiate these issues from similar questions encountered in SBER. Best practices for IRB applications, review processes, risk minimization, data and safety monitoring, informed consent documents, and postapproval monitoring (PAM) will be provided through case study discussions. During this session, speakers and attendees will:
Learning Objectives:
- Describe key ethical and regulatory distinctives of exercise science research relative to SBE-oriented research
- Review best practices for the review, approval, and documentation of interventions unique to exercise science research
- Identify practical solutions for effective review of exercise science research in the SBER environment through enhancements to IRB applications, review processes, informed consent materials, PAM, and related human subjects protections
