Assignment 1: Temperature One-Sample t-test

One-Sample t-test Demonstration

This section demonstrates a one-sample t-test to determine if sample means are significantly different from a population mean. The population mean is set to 98.6°F, which is the normal body temperature. We will generate samples with different means and standard deviations to illustrate the t-test process. ### Data Generation and Setup

For this demonstration, we’ll create simulated data for two sample sizes (n=24 and n=48) with different mean-SD pairs.

# Set seed for reproducibility
set.seed(123)

# Population reference value
population_mean <- 98.6 # Normal body temperature (°F)

# Create a dataset with mean-SD pairs
sample_params <- data.frame(
  sample_id = 1:5,
  true_mean = c(98.2, 99.1, 98.6, 97.9, 99.3),
  true_sd = c(0.7, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 0.3)
)

# Create sample data for both n=24 and n=48 for each sample
sample_data <- expand.grid(
  sample_id = 1:5,
  sample_size = c(24, 48)
)

# Merge with parameters
sample_data <- merge(sample_data, sample_params, by = "sample_id")

# Display the sample parameters in a nicely formatted table
sample_data %>%
  arrange(sample_id, sample_size) %>%
  kable(col.names = c("Sample ID", "Sample Size (n)", "True Mean (°F)", "True SD (°F)"),
        caption = "Sample Parameters for One-Sample t-test Demonstration",
        digits = 1) %>%
  kable_styling(bootstrap_options = c("striped", "hover", "condensed"), 
                full_width = FALSE,
                position = "center") %>%
  row_spec(0, bold = TRUE, color = "black", background = "#E8EAEC")

Generating Simulated Samples and Calculating t-tests

# Function to generate a sample with given parameters and calculate t-test
generate_and_test <- function(n, true_mean, true_sd, mu = population_mean) {
  # Generate data
  sample_data <- rnorm(n, mean = true_mean, sd = true_sd)
  
  # Calculate sample statistics
  sample_mean <- mean(sample_data)
  sample_sd <- sd(sample_data)
  
  # Perform t-test
  t_test <- t.test(sample_data, mu = mu)
  
  # Return results
  return(list(
    n = n,
    sample_mean = sample_mean,
    sample_sd = sample_sd,
    t_statistic = t_test$statistic,
    p_value = t_test$p.value,
    conf_low = t_test$conf.int[1],
    conf_high = t_test$conf.int[2]
  ))
}

# Apply the function to each row in sample_data
results <- mapply(
  generate_and_test, 
  sample_data$sample_size, 
  sample_data$true_mean, 
  sample_data$true_sd,
  SIMPLIFY = FALSE
)

# Convert results to a data frame
results_df <- bind_rows(lapply(results, as.data.frame))
results_df$sample_id <- sample_data$sample_id
results_df$true_mean <- sample_data$true_mean
results_df$true_sd <- sample_data$true_sd

# Reorder columns
results_df <- results_df %>%
  select(sample_id, n, true_mean, true_sd, sample_mean, sample_sd, t_statistic, p_value, conf_low, conf_high)

Introduction

This report demonstrates how reliability metrics change with varying levels of data variability. We analyze three different datasets to show the impact of data variability on reliability measures such as Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), Standard Error of Measurement (SEM), and Minimal Difference (MD).

Discussion:

Our analysis examined flexibility differences between males and females using sit-and-reach test measurements. In the original dataset (n=24), we found no statistically significant difference between sexes when using two-tailed tests with either equal variance (p = 0.834) or unequal variance (p = 0.834). The one-tailed test (testing whether females have greater flexibility than males) also showed no significant difference (p = 0.417). The difference in means was minimal, with females averaging 27.53 cm and males averaging 28.26 cm.

After adding four additional female subjects, the expanded dataset showed a more pronounced difference, with females now averaging 30.07 cm compared to males at 28.26 cm. However, this difference still failed to reach statistical significance in two-tailed tests (p = 0.652 for equal variance, p = 0.643 for unequal variance) or in the one-tailed test (p = 0.326).

When comparing the different test types, we observed: 1. Two-tailed equal variance (Type 2) vs. unequal variance (Type 3) tests showed minor differences in the degrees of freedom and p-values, but these differences did not affect the overall interpretation. 2. One-tailed testing (Type 1) yielded different p-values compared to two-tailed tests, but in this case, the results remained non-significant despite the directional hypothesis being aligned with the observed means in the expanded dataset (females showing higher flexibility). 3. The addition of four female subjects with relatively high flexibility scores shifted the female mean from slightly below the male mean to slightly above it, but the shift was not substantial enough to reach statistical significance.

The visualization confirms substantial overlap in flexibility measurements between groups, with high within-group variability that exceeds the between-group differences. These results suggest that in our sample, sex does not appear to be a significant predictor of flexibility performance in the sit-and-reach test.

Discussion and Interpretation

The analysis of the three datasets with varying levels of data consistency demonstrates how reliability metrics are affected by changes in data variability:

Dataset 1 (Original): This dataset serves as our baseline with moderate reliability.
Dataset 2 (Higher Consistency): This dataset shows higher consistency between trials for each subject. As a result:
- The ICC value increased, indicating improved reliability
- The SEM decreased, showing better precision of measurements
- The MD decreased, meaning smaller changes can be detected reliably
Dataset 3 (Greater Variability): This dataset demonstrates increased variability between both subjects and trials. As a result:
- The ICC value decreased substantially, indicating poorer reliability
- The SEM increased, showing reduced precision of measurements
- The MD increased, meaning larger changes are needed to detect real differences

These comparisons illustrate the sensitivity of reliability metrics to data variability. When designing measurement protocols, researchers should strive for conditions that minimize variability to achieve higher reliability, lower SEM, and smaller MD values, which allow for more precise detection of true changes in the measured variable.

Conclusions for Investigators

When reporting reliability metrics to principal investigators, the following considerations are important:

ICC Interpretation:
- ICC > 0.90: Excellent reliability
- ICC 0.75-0.90: Good reliability
- ICC 0.50-0.75: Moderate reliability
- ICC < 0.50: Poor reliability
SEM and MD: These metrics provide practical information about the precision of measurements and the ability to detect real changes. A lower SEM and MD indicate greater measurement precision.
Coefficient of Variation: The CoV provides a standardized measure of dispersion that allows comparison across different measurement scales. Lower CoV values indicate less variability relative to the mean.

When evaluating a measurement protocol, investigators should consider both the statistical reliability (ICC) and the practical implications of measurement error (SEM, MD) for their specific research questions and populations of interest.

Executive Summary

This analysis examines the impact of training on bench press performance over time. Using a dataset that tracks bench press weights for trained and untrained subjects across three time points (PRE, MID, and POST), we performed several statistical analyses to assess differences between groups and changes over time. One-way ANOVA revealed significant differences in baseline strength between trained and untrained subjects. Repeated measures ANOVA demonstrated significant improvements in bench press performance over time for all subjects, with trained subjects showing greater overall strength values. A factorial ANOVA confirmed both main effects of training status and time, as well as their interaction, indicating that trained subjects experienced different rates of strength improvement compared to untrained subjects.

Introduction

Background and Rationale

Resistance training is a fundamental component of athletic development and general fitness. Understanding the differences in strength development between trained and untrained individuals provides valuable insights for program design and expected adaptations. This analysis uses the bench press exercise as a model to examine these differences. The bench press is one of the most common and well-studied resistance exercises, making it an ideal choice for demonstrating statistical analysis techniques in exercise science.

Objectives and Hypotheses

Objectives: - To compare baseline strength levels between trained and untrained individuals - To assess changes in bench press performance over time (PRE, MID, POST) - To determine if training status affects the rate of strength development

Hypotheses: 1. Trained individuals will demonstrate greater baseline (PRE) bench press strength than untrained individuals 2. All subjects will show significant increases in bench press performance over time 3. Trained individuals will exhibit different patterns of strength development compared to untrained individuals (interaction effect)

Methods

Experimental Design

This study employed a mixed factorial design with one between-subjects factor (Training Status: Trained vs. Untrained) and one within-subjects factor (Time: PRE, MID, POST). The dependent variable was bench press performance measured in kilograms (kg). This design allows us to examine both between-group differences and within-subject changes over time.

Subjects

Participants (n=9, 6M/3F, mean±SD: 31±6y, 174±12cm, 82±25kg) completed the 12-week intervention. They were categorized as trained (V̇O2max >35 mlkg−1min−1, n=4) or untrained (n=5) based on baseline cardiorespiratory fitness. Participants had not engaged in structured resistance training for at least 1 year prior to the study.

Procedures

Testing sessions occurred at baseline (PRE), 6 weeks (MID), and 12 weeks (POST). Bench press performance was assessed using the one-repetition maximum (1RM) test following National Strength and Conditioning Association standards. Briefly, subjects warmed up with 8-10 repetitions at 50% estimated 1RM, followed by 3-5 repetitions at 85% estimated 1RM. Subjects then performed 2-4 maximal testing attempts with 3-5 minutes of rest between attempts.

Exercise Intervention

Participants completed a 12-week minimal-dose exercise intervention consisting of once-weekly, one-hour sessions that combined high-intensity interval training (HIIT), resistance training (RT), and high-intensity functional training (HIFT). For resistance exercises (including bench press), participants performed a single set of 25-30 repetitions to failure at 64±16% 1RM. The training load was adjusted based on performance, with increases implemented if participants completed more than 30 repetitions and decreases if they completed fewer than 25 repetitions.

Statistical Analysis

All analyses were conducted in R version 4.4.1 using RStudio version 2024.12.1+563. Data manipulation was performed with the tidyverse suite of packages including dplyr for data transformation and tidyr for reshaping. Normality and homogeneity were confirmed with the Shapiro-Wilk and Levene’s test using the car package.

To address our research questions, the following analyses were conducted:

One-way ANOVA: To examine differences in baseline (PRE) bench press strength between trained and untrained individuals. When significant main effects were detected, post-hoc comparisons were conducted using Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test to identify which specific group means differed significantly while controlling for family-wise error rate. The tukey_hsd function from the rstatix package was used for these comparisons.
Repeated Measures ANOVA: To assess changes in bench press performance over time (PRE, MID, POST) across all subjects. Mauchly’s test was used to check the sphericity assumption, with Greenhouse-Geisser correction applied when necessary. Following significant time effects, post-hoc pairwise comparisons between all time points (PRE vs. MID, MID vs. POST, and PRE vs. POST) were conducted using paired t-tests with Bonferroni correction (p.adjust.method = “bonferroni”) to control for multiple comparisons. These analyses were implemented using the pairwise_t_test function from the rstatix package.
Group-Specific Repeated Measures ANOVA: To analyze changes over time separately for each training status group, identifying group-specific patterns of adaptation. For each significant time effect within groups, post-hoc pairwise comparisons were conducted using paired t-tests with Bonferroni correction to determine which specific time points showed significant differences. Within each training group, effect sizes were calculated using generalized eta squared (ges) to quantify the magnitude of the time effect.
Mixed Factorial ANOVA: To examine both main effects (Training Status and Time) and their interaction. This analysis allows us to determine whether training status influences the rate of strength development over time. When significant interaction effects were found, simple effects analyses were conducted to examine differences between groups at each time point. For simple effects of Training Status at each level of Time, one-way ANOVAs were performed followed by Tukey’s HSD post-hoc tests to identify group differences. For simple effects of Time at each level of Training Status, repeated measures ANOVAs were conducted followed by Bonferroni-corrected pairwise comparisons.

For all analyses, statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Effect sizes were quantified using partial eta squared (η²p) for ANOVA effects and Hedges’ g with bias correction for small samples for pairwise comparisons. Data normality was visually inspected using histograms created with ggplot2, and data visualization was performed using the ggpubr package to create publication-quality figures following Nature style guidelines.

4. Factorial ANOVA (Mixed Design ANOVA)

Finally, we’ll conduct a factorial ANOVA to examine both main effects and the interaction between Training Status and Time.

# Mixed ANOVA with one between-subjects factor (TrainingStatus) 
# and one within-subjects factor (TimePoint)

# Calculate the mixed ANOVA and store results
mixed_anova_result <- rstatix::anova_test(
  data = data_long,
  dv = Weight, 
  wid = Subject, 
  between = TrainingStatus, 
  within = TimePoint
) %>%
  rstatix::get_anova_table()

# Calculate effect sizes (partial eta squared)
mixed_anova_result$pes <- mixed_anova_result$ges / (1 - mixed_anova_result$ges)

# Create effect sizes table using a manual approach
effect_sizes_table <- data.frame(
  Effect = mixed_anova_result$Effect,
  p = mixed_anova_result$p,
  ges = mixed_anova_result$ges,
  pes = mixed_anova_result$pes
)
# Simple effect of Training Status at each level of Time
simple_effects_time <- data_long %>%
  dplyr::group_by(TimePoint) %>%
  rstatix::anova_test(Weight ~ TrainingStatus) %>%
  rstatix::get_anova_table()

# Create list to store post-hoc test results
posthoc_by_timepoint <- list()

# Perform post-hoc tests for each time point and store results
for(time_point in c("PRE", "MID", "POST")) {
  time_data <- data_long %>% dplyr::filter(TimePoint == time_point)
  
  posthoc_result <- time_data %>%
    rstatix::tukey_hsd(Weight ~ TrainingStatus)
  
  posthoc_by_timepoint[[time_point]] <- posthoc_result
}

# Calculate mean values for each group at each time point
mean_by_group_time <- data_long %>%
  dplyr::group_by(TrainingStatus, TimePoint) %>%
  dplyr::summarise(
    Mean = mean(Weight),
    SD = sd(Weight),
    .groups = "drop"
  )

Discussion

Interpretation of Results

Our analysis of bench press performance reveals several key findings:

Baseline Differences: The one-way ANOVA on PRE values demonstrated significant differences in baseline bench press strength between trained and untrained individuals (F(1, 19) = 18.72, p < 0.001, η² = 0.50). Trained individuals displayed substantially higher initial strength levels (M = 67.14 kg, SD = 13.62) compared to untrained individuals (M = 40.92 kg, SD = 7.78).
Changes Over Time: The repeated measures ANOVA showed significant improvements in bench press performance across all time points (F(2, 40) = 285.61, p < 0.001), with pairwise comparisons indicating significant differences between each time point (PRE to MID, MID to POST, and PRE to POST, all p < 0.001).
Group-Specific Changes: When analyzed separately, both trained and untrained groups showed significant improvements over time (p < 0.001 for both groups). However, the patterns and magnitudes of change differed between groups.
Interaction Effect: The factorial ANOVA revealed significant main effects of Training Status (F(1, 19) = 76.85, p < 0.001) and Time (F(2, 38) = 236.63, p < 0.001), as well as a significant interaction between these factors (F(2, 38) = 36.09, p < 0.001). This interaction indicates that the rate of strength improvement differed between trained and untrained individuals.
Simple Effects Analysis: The analysis of training status effects at each time point showed that trained individuals were significantly stronger than untrained individuals at all three time points (p < 0.001). Moreover, the absolute strength difference between groups increased over time (PRE: 26.22 kg, MID: 29.77 kg, POST: 33.94 kg), suggesting that trained individuals gained more absolute strength throughout the training period.

Comparison with Prior Research

Our findings align with previous research on resistance training adaptations. The observed baseline differences between trained and untrained individuals are consistent with studies showing that regular resistance training leads to substantial increases in muscular strength over time. The significant interaction effect supports the principle of diminishing returns in strength training, where trained individuals typically require more stimulus or time to achieve the same relative gains as untrained individuals.

However, the continued improvements observed in the trained group contradict some literature suggesting that trained individuals might plateau more quickly. This could be due to the specific program design, training intensity, or individual variability within our sample.

Limitations

Several limitations should be considered when interpreting these results:

Sample Size: The relatively small sample size (10 trained, 11 untrained subjects) may limit the generalizability of our findings and statistical power.
Training Program Details: Without information about the specific training program (frequency, intensity, volume, etc.), it’s difficult to attribute the observed changes to particular program variables.
Subject Characteristics: Limited information about subjects’ characteristics (age, training history, etc.) makes it challenging to control for potential confounding variables.
Measurement Time Points: The lack of precise timing information between measurement points (PRE, MID, POST) limits our ability to draw conclusions about the rate of adaptation.

Conclusion

This analysis demonstrates significant differences in bench press performance between trained and untrained individuals, both in baseline values and in patterns of change over time. The factorial ANOVA revealed that training status influences both absolute strength levels and the rate of strength development. These findings have important implications for exercise prescription and programming, suggesting that different approaches may be needed for individuals with varying training backgrounds.

Future research should examine these relationships with larger sample sizes, more detailed subject characteristics, and controlled training programs to further clarify the interaction between training status and strength development over time.
