comfortable while walking, which, unfortunately, author one is required to do quite
often at his current state of jog-ability. (Regarding author one, we use a little
scientific license in the terms “athletic” and “athlete.”)
With an analytical mind and employing the scientific method, author one first
considered a low battery charge on the transmitter or receiver as cause for this
otherwise-unpredictable transmission breakup. “Elementary, Watson.” However,
tests proved this hypothesis false.
Once battery charge was ruled out, environmental factors were considered. But
extensive research, as far as you know, showed that time of day, air temperature,
humidity, barometric pressure, amount of sunlight, trail location and even jogging
attire were nearly exactly the same in all cases. Bluetooth transmission difficulties
were not statistically related to any of these factors. That pretty much narrowed
down the variable(s) to something runner-related, i.e., possibly, at times, author
one was more dense than he was at others, and thusly blocking transmission. This
was graciously suggested by author two – his largest contribution to the
conversation.
The concept-inciting event occurred during a jog a few days after the conversation.
During this performance author one noted that the music system was working
nearly flawlessly again. And he also noted that his body and mind were working a
little better than in times past, most likely owing to a reduction in ethanol insertion
during the days ramping-up to this performance. However, again, we will leave the
“fixes” to the trainers. We are not pointing fingers or concerned with changing
habits, or even with the causes of Bluetooth-blocking body “density.” We are
specifically looking at the amount of such blocking as a predictor of athletic
performance to follow.
With only endorphins as a mental lubricant, author one remembered author two’s
kind mention of personal density. Having both a hypothesis (personal density or
similar factor limiting Bluetooth transmission) and a possible incidence of it (feeling
well correlating with better transmission), author one then rode his endorphins off
into the research for this paper, offering some payback by, via familial ties,
emotionally extorting author two into involvement.
Hypothesis: Better Bluetooth transmission through a human body directly
corresponds to better athletic performance by that body immediately after the
transmission is measured. Conversely, more Bluetooth blocking corresponds to
worse performance.
Impressive, right?
In the Literature
It is well known that muscle response is induced by nerve transmission of
electrical impulses. And a wealth of research and established science can be
found relating to the transmission of electrical impulses through the body. At its
