Declining or Waning
- Traditional Exercise Physiology:
Research specifically focused on traditional metrics of exercise physiology, such as VO2 max, is becoming less central as newer methodologies and interdisciplinary approaches gain traction. - Basic Reflex Studies:
Studies exclusively examining basic reflex pathways without integrating more complex behavioral and environmental contexts are appearing less frequently. - Invasive Physiological Techniques:
The use of invasive techniques in human studies is declining, with a shift towards non-invasive and less intrusive methodologies that respect patient safety and comfort. - Static Models of Physiological Systems:
Static models that do not account for dynamic physiological changes and interactions are being replaced by more comprehensive, dynamic modeling approaches.
