Chapter 11 240 DATA MANAGEMENT The data used within this thesis are collected and stored according to the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) principles. 1 Appropriate data management is important for 1) knowledge discovery and innovation, 2) protecting scientific integrity and 3) preservation and reuse of data sets. This thesis is based on results of human studies, which were conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Additionally, a local Medical Ethics Committee approved the study protocols. All subjects were well informed about the study using an information package and all subjects gave written informed consent prior to participation in the study. The paper data for this PhD project are stored in a closed cabinet in a room at the department of Physiology, Radboud University Medical Center, or at the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University. The raw and processed digital data are stored on the server of the department of Physiology, Radboud University Medical Center which are backed-upondaily basis toprevent data loss. Theprocesseddata thatweregeneratedhave been stored in encodedMicrosoft Excel or SPSS data files. The privacy of the participants in this study is warranted by use of encrypted and unique individual subject codes. The code was stored separately from the study data. In data files and case report forms the individual subject code is used, which allows us to share the data if necessary. The encryption key is only available to the research team. In order to ensure that the data is generally accessible and interoperable, file names and data which were used to produce the final results, were documented using applicable language for knowledge representation. The data will be available for further analyses for at least 15 years. Furthermore, the datasets generated and analyzed during these studies are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.
