    The researchers took the three blind men to the elephant. One subject was
    taken to the front of the elephant, near the trunk. Another subject was placed
    near the elephants ear. Another subject was placed near the elephant's hind leg.

    On being asked for a description of the elephant, all subjects subsequently
    made equally erroneous descriptions of the creature.

    This suggests that some problems have a number of incorrect solutions.

  3. You need it if you are running a long race.
    I usually [censored] out in a marathon at about
    the distance of my longest training run.

    The question is who was placed under the elephant's tail.

    I think that's where they put the paper.

    Geez, poopie-talk from Rick? Why am I not surprised?

  7. 1. Not new information.
    2. Untrained subjects doing something I bet was previously
    unfamiliar---cycling.
    3. Small subject pool meaning one or two large improvements can really skew
    the data. (Need to see the full study).

  8. Only 2 week study, worse than useless!!!!!!, take any unfit group
    (which is probably what a university student thinks is 'reasionably fit
    and active'😉 do almost anything with them and you will get an initial
    big jump in fitness gains.

    I have read the actual study, probably something you have not done. The
    study was done as a follow up to another study to see if the same effects
    could be achieved in a shorter period of time. Using untrained subjects
    allows one to see a big effect.

    Yes, any training would improve some markers of fitness. This merely
    elucidates some of them.
