The question is not "does qi exist?", it's "does thinking about your actions and training in terms of qi improve your performance of those actions?" And in the crucible that is modern international athletic competition, we overwhelmingly find athletes whose training is shaped by the scientific understanding of physiology, suggesting that a qi-based training regime is outperformed by a scientific one. But a qi-based regime might still outperform a "make it up as you go along" regime.
