They did buy Fitbit.
It's now Pixel.
And I know that they do publish a lot.
They're one of the few
groups that have this wearable data that does academic publications and really are evidence-based.
And so I know they're going to be probably working on this as well, at least updating some of what they're doing as well.
And WHOOP does a lot too.
I would say if we're going to simplify the guidelines that we at least have to get rid of the one to two and maybe go with the lowest ratio, which was one to three point five.
Like that would be.
But the question is.
are these guidelines based more on the outcome data that was used for vigorous activity versus moderate, right?
And again, going back to the questionnaire data, because it was questionnaire data too, right?
There needs to be an update, first and foremost.
They need to look at
More actual empirical data that, you know, as measured by accelerometers.
And then from there, it's like, okay, are we looking at how much do we need for either vigorous or moderate and then make the ratio and adjust it there instead of this one to two based on energy expenditure, right?
I mean, I think steps need to go out and it needs to be... I agree.
It needs to be more like the minutes of...
either vigorous or moderate probably mostly vigorous because that's like the easiest i mean you could do you know four minutes of vigorous activity a day and be actually meaningful at least according to the data with the women reducing the you know risk of heart attacks and stuff so um it
