In this episode Bill and Chris continue their discussion on stretching and relate it back to how the research is done. This evolves into a conversation about understanding research and how we can interpret the results. The “do your own research” crowd typically gathers minimal information from the actual studies they are investigating, if they even look at the studies at all. By reading headlines and the titles of reddit posts, the DYOR folks, or better yet, the “evidence based” crowd tend to overlook the counterfactuals and shortcomings of the research being done. A more thorough analysis is needed, and there will always need to be further questioning in order to stay on the path towards the truth and what is most useful. #stretching #fitness #dyor #tabata #research LIKE the podcast to help other see itCOMMENT on YT with any questions you might have and let’s start a discussionSHARE it with anyone who you know is stuck in the land of fitness confusion SUBSCRIBE for even more helpful content:YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPTIG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/FB: https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPTWEB: https://billhartmanpt.com/ Podcast audio:https://open.spotify.com/show/7cJM6v5S38RLroac6BQjrd?si=eca3b211dafc4202 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/reconsider-with-bill-hartman/id1662268221or download with YT Premium Books mentioned in this episode:All Gain, No Pain by Bill Hartman https://amzn.to/3kHpJjT Important questions asked in this episode:(0:00) Does Santa exist?(2:23) What are researchers even trying to do?(7:24) Why is doing your research through reading headlines and abstracts problematic?(12:52) Why do people perceive a varied perspective as a personal attack?(19:23) Why is the Tabata research a good example of how people are mislead?(27:16) Should we even care if we cannot measure the thing that is supposedly happening?
