The irony is that most of us doing biomedical science don't consider what the exercise and sports scientists publish to be science. While I agree there's plenty of superstition in broscience, there's also many who empirically test their hypotheses and adjust as they get new data-- they're doing science.

Laughing at "kinesiologists" aside, there's also a general problem in biosciences of re-discovering major ideas every 10-20 years or so. Someone new gets in the field, makes a "seminal" discovery ...that was published 10-20 years ago in a smaller journal. Downside to information overload and the need to filter.
