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.
Learning Objectives:
Describe key ethical and regulatory distinctives of exercise science research relative to SBER
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
