Where you're just going from one that seems to inevitably lead to the next and the next and the next deeper and deeper.
I don't know.
I disagree.
I've gone down many rabbit holes of science, like particle physics.
Yeah.
Hey guys, a new study I came across analyzed the exercise data on a lot of people over a lot of years to compare the mortality of those who did resistance training and those who did not.
So do weights really help you live longer or do they just help you open pickle jars and maybe look slightly better in a geeky science t-shirt?
So let's see what their conclusions were.
This is from the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
The main title is Long-Term Resistance Training Will...
with all cause and cause-specific mortality.
So this was intriguing for me.
One, initially, was because this seemed like a natural follow-up to the cardio study that I covered in episode 1090.
It's not the same paper, but it's addressing that other major pillar of exercise, resistance training, such as lifting weights, which is kind of like...
When you think resistance training, it's mainly just lifting weights.
So let's see.
So this pillar is obviously very important as well, right?
But the benefits of pure resistance training aren't as well studied as they are for cardio.
As the researchers say in their paper, while the beneficial effect of aerobic activity on mortality risk reduction is well documented, it's less clear whether resistance training offers similar benefits.
That's a little disappointing.
