Task 5: Back in 2008, hospitals were reporting an increase in injuries related to playing Nintendo Wii
(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1576244/Spate-of-injuriesblamed-
on-Nintendo-Wii.html). These injuries were attributed mainly to muscle and tendon strains. A researcher was interested to see whether these injuries could be prevented. She hypothesized that a stretching warm-up before playing Wii would help lower injuries, and that athletes would be less susceptible to injuries because their regular activity makes them more flexible. She took 60 athletes and 60 nonathletes
(athlete), half of them played Wii and half watched others playing as a control (wii), and within these groups half did a 5-minute stretch routine before playing/watching whereas the other half did not
(stretch). The outcome was a pain score out of 10 (where 0 is no pain, and 10 is severe pain) after playing for 4 hours (injury). The data are in the file Wii.dat. Conduct a three-way ANOVA to test whether athletes are less prone to injury, and whether the prevention programme worked
