Abstract

Human movement science now runs on accelerating metrics, short grant cycles, and compressed editorial timelines. Speed can deliver rapid outputs but often erodes validity, reproducibility, and conceptual innovation. We advance time-attuned science – tempo giusto – as a design-and-governance concept that calibrates the pace of inquiry to the intrinsic timescales of human movement. Rather than universal deceleration, it prescribes fast evidence when mechanisms and decision horizons warrant it, and sustained observation with planned replication when effects unfold slowly. Delivering this alignment requires systems that reward durability, openness, and societal relevance over volume or venue prestige. A commitment to temporal justice ensures that access to the time required for valid inquiry is widely shared. Where time, method, and purpose converge, findings become cumulative, credible, and enduring.
