Two would be like relying on self-reported data.

And that's something that we're going to get into today.

You know, when you're trying to ask people to,

remember their physical activity.

And you're going to talk about this a little bit more.

It's just not accurate.

And then the third one would be that it's not actually able to capture some of these like, you know, you're playing with your kids or you're sprinting around with your puppy, right?

These short bursts of physical activity.

that do matter, right?

So you're not including that as well.

So why don't we get into this new study?

It was published in Nature Communications, wearable device-based health equivalents of different physical activity intensities against mortality, cardiometabolic disease, and cancer.

Very good study.

Maybe we can kind of start off with...

how the study was set up, like some of the methods.

Well, it's also, I mean, it's measuring everything, right?

It's measuring the short burst of exercise that you would never think about.

Like, if someone were to ask me how many minutes I exercise a week, I would only include my structured, defined workouts that I set aside to work out.

I wouldn't include...

You know, the three times a day I'm sprinting around my yard with my puppy or, you know, once a day that I'm playing soccer with my son.
