And then there's also trials that are more observational in nature or cross-sectional and saying, you know, can we look at this to identify some patterns that we could then go investigate in a clinical trial?

And there is a tendency to kind of jump the gun and say, well, based on this study,

potential pattern, then it looks like there might be this health benefit.

And then the message gets misconstrued into, if you take it, you'll never get Alzheimer's or you'll never get dementia.

And that's not an appropriate representation of the data.

Depends.

I think the most compelling benefits are probably the kind of mental clarity and psychological well-being as opposed to the physiology.

It's fine.

It's certainly necessary with long-term endurance training goals.

But if you prefer higher intensity or other forms of moderate physical activity, then do that instead.

Because weighted vests are being marketed to women as an alternative for resistance training, walking with a weighted vest.

And so walking with a weighted vest is not going to improve muscle or bone.

It's not the appropriate stimulus.

If you want to use the vest to maybe do some squats or lunges or jumping exercises, then that might be an appropriate use case for it.

But just going on walks with a weighted vest is not a substitute for resistance training.

I would skip that.

I think we have a lot of data in grip strength because grip strength is really easy to measure in clinical settings in people who have never exercised, including people who are on bed rest.

So we know there's a relationship between grip strength and quote unquote longevity because grip strength is a proxy for overall strength.

So instead of worrying about testing or training grip strength, we should be focusing on doing our full body resistance training.
