I still advocate open-access publishing. But we urgently need better regulation. Right now, the major beneficiaries are large publishers. In Germany alone, we are spending millions of taxpayer euros merely to “flip a Word file into a PDF” - and that’s not sustainable.

🏔️ Information Overload: As the study below illustrates, the sheer volume of publications has grown so large that even specialists or expert practitioners struggle to keep up. My original goal - making knowledge more accessible -has, in some ways, backfired.

🚀 Skyrocketing Costs: What once cost <€1,000 to convert a Word file into a PDF with a DOI now easily surpasses €4,000. The process itself hasn’t changed - it’s still just flipping a Word file into a PDF- yet the publishing industry has turned it into an expensive mega-market.

👉 10–15 years ago, I was a strong proponent of open access publishing. My reasoning was straightforward: practioners outside of academia should not have essential knowledge locked behind paywalls.
However, my perspective has shifted due to two main factors:

3/3 We suggest implementing additional running sessions and modifying small-sided games to better balance workloads and improve non-starters' physical preparedness.

2/2 This typology limits the validity and comparability of research. We emphasize the need for a nuanced classification to improve the quality of biomolecular studies, particularly those investigating gene-phenotype relationships in athletes.
