Editorial policy

Clever Athlete Journal aims to make claims about athletic performance clear, proportionate and open to correction. We distinguish general explanation from individual advice and do not present a confident tone as proof.

Accuracy and clarity

We check wording, definitions and the context needed to understand a claim before publication. We prefer precise language to dramatic promises, and explain uncertainty where a topic does not support a single answer. We do not invent expertise, testing or evidence.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions are made for reader relevance, not to guarantee a favourable mention. Paid or partner material is labelled clearly so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial work. A partnership does not buy editorial conclusions.

Corrections

If a reader spots an error, they can send the page and the point in question through Contact. We review the issue and correct material errors, making the change clear when it affects the meaning of a published piece.

Illustrations

Some illustrations may be generated with AI. Where relevant, captions or accompanying text identify this, and illustrations are not presented as documentary evidence of a real athlete, event or test.
