A sports scientist wants to investigate the effectiveness of a new electrolyte-infused recovery drink compared to plain water. They recruit a sample of 30 marathon runners.

All participants completed one of two conditions:

  • Group A: 15 runners drank the electrolyte-infused recovery drink immediately after a grueling training run, and their muscle soreness was rated on a scale of 111 to 101010 after 24 hours.
  • Group B: 15 different runners drank plain water immediately after the same training run, and their muscle soreness was rated on the same scale after 24 hours.
