finally...
i have submitted PhD thesis today.
it was nearly 3 years of hardworking.
the story of my thesis is:
1. individual differences exist in response to elite athletes' conditioning (training + recovery activities)

2. their training load, recovery, performance, and performance readiness are fluctuating daily
= used randomization tests to analyze mean differences
