Effectiveness of Grounded Sleeping on Recovery After Eccentric Muscle Loading

The attempt to shut these sort of results down by pointing out the lack of scientific explanation is a bit sad in my optics.<p>If the study can not be replicated or the methodology is crap then fair enough but no-one had (have?) the correct scientific explanation for, say, Copernicus&#x27; observations and they still drove science forward immensely. Blue sky thinking and observation should be encouraged even if it produces results that are not immediately explainable.

I don&#x27;t think the study controlled for differences in muscle damage. The more damage, the longer it takes to recover, even if the rate of recovery is the same.<p>The ungrounded group was measured with higher blood lactate levels, suggesting that the exercise was more strenuous for the and that they experienced more muscle damage.<p>See: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;29619805&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;29619805&#x2F;</a>

I don&#x27;t care if this is peer-reviewed, the physics in it is highly suspect. Electrons do not wander into your bloodstream like that.

Well, the entire theory of this paper seems to revolve around the reference[0] that asks &quot;Can Electrons Act as Antioxidants?&quot; Since Oxidation[1] is the loss of an electron from an atom&#x2F;ion&#x2F;molecule, it seems like the entire premise doesn&#x27;t make sense, or I have a severe misunderstanding of what is being discussed. Are we claiming that the free electrons are somehow preventing atoms from losing electrons, and that impacts muscle recovery?<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.liebertpub.com&#x2F;doi&#x2F;10.1089&#x2F;acm.2007.7048" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.liebertpub.com&#x2F;doi&#x2F;10.1089&#x2F;acm.2007.7048</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Redox" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Redox</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Antioxidant" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Antioxidant</a>

n=22. Didn&#x27;t see any mention of accidental grounding, not sure this is a rigorous enough design.
