Commercially, GA is also offered as an assessment tool of athletic performance by identifying locomotive inefficiencies1 (p.1)
Writer’s comment:
I got it from PubMed. Kasmer. So these papers are usually searched through our database PubMed. So the conclusion of the study was “Faster runners …”, so I am basically just generalizing it by saying it is used to assess “locomotive inefficiencies”… So in this case the topic is specific about marathon runners but I am generalizing to become athletic performance because that’s too detailed for the context that I present for the readers. So for that particular reference that [it is] generalized the entire study in one sentence, just to provide an example to support what I am saying… Again to generalize it. … they are talking about “foot strike patterns” and I’ve changed it to inefficiencies.
