Analyze the following study according to the criteria set by your instructor:Researchers at Moros University believed that there was a link between sleep and athletic performance. They performed an experiment in which 300 marathoners between the ages of 17 and 27 were randomly assigned to group A and group B. Members who belonged to group A were instructed to sleep for 4 hours a day, while people in group B were instructed to sleep for 8 hours a day. Both groups were instructed to follow similar diets. For two weeks, the members of both groups were asked to run two miles every day, and their lactic acid levels were measured while they ran. The researchers found that members of group A were three times more likely to have a higher lactic acid buildup in their muscles than group B members.

Group A members also took twice as long to clear the lactic acid buildup than members of group A.The researchers concluded through this experiment that lack of sleep significantly impairs athletic performance.[ This is a fictitious experiment.] What will be an ideal response?
