Looking through any exercise science journals today,in fact any science journals including many top Science Citation Index(SCI) journals,one can easily find examples of the wide-spread "p<0.05/significance" abuse phenomenon,i.e., if the p value from a statistical/hypothesis test is less than 0.05(or 0.01 sometimes),a conclusion that "the results/ findings are significant" is then drawn.The abuse is so severe that it is already seriously threatening the integrity of scientific inquiry.
