Study Demographics
- Studies often use participants who don't represent the general population.
- Most studies, including exercise-related ones, are conducted on broke college-aged males because they are readily available and inexpensive to recruit.
- Results from these studies may not be applicable to individuals with different demographics, such as older adults, women, or people with different lifestyles.
Full Body Workouts vs Body Part Splits
- Advocate full body workout routines over body part splits because while studies show similar results if volume is controlled, adherence differs.
- Over five years, people miss workouts, especially those they dislike (e.g., legs, back).
- With full body workouts, even missing a session still ensures training of all muscle groups twice that week, making them superior for consistency.
