Scenario
A fitness instructor is interested in studying whether their new protein drink will influence endurance. They have their 8am spin class participants drink the new protein drink before class, their 3pm spin class participants drink only water before class, and their 10pm spin class participants drink a competitor's protein drink. They find that the participants who drank the new protein drink demonstrated better endurance during their workout than the other two classes.
