Bayesian methods are quite useful for models with random effects, eg where there is repeated measurements on subjects. This type of data seems to come up quite a bit in sports and exercise science. I have helped some people in this area before:

I am also currently helping a PhD student in exercise science. There is pretty good software for fitting these kinds of Bayesian models. It is a learning curve, but the student is managing to develop the skills. So the methods aren't completely out of reach for researchers in these fields.
