Abstract

Graphical representation of results are a central component of original research articles in sports medicine. There has been recent criticism in the scientific community of a heavy reliance on simple bar graphs and line graphs to illustrate results because they often fail to clearly represent the measures and changes to interventions of individual participants. This article aims to suggest alternatives to bar and line graphs, including those that emphasize the illustration of (1) individual subject measures and data set distribution, (2) magnitude of group differences, (3) the relationships between multiple variables, and (4) unique ways of displaying time series data.

摘要

结果的图形表示是运动医学原创研究文章的核心组成部分。最近，科学界批评在说明结果时严重依赖简单的条形图和折线图，因为它们常常无法清晰呈现个体参与者的测量值和干预措施的变化。本文旨在提出条形图和折线图的替代方法，包括那些强调说明(1)个体受试者测量值和数据集分布、(2)组间差异大小、(3)多个变量之间的关系以及(4)显示时间序列数据的独特方式的方法。
