New Year. New avalanche of fitness and nutrition-related studies to confuse the resolutionistas (and the rest of us). How are we supposed to decide which ones to believe? We asked Greg Nuckols, someone who spends a lot of time evaluating research, to break it down for us. Here are some of our thoughts: - Are there some sources we should listen over others?
- Should you read the entire study or is the abstract enough?
- What’s a legitimate sample size and why are large sample studies rare?
- How long should a study be run to be believable?
- If a finding is something that wasn’t the main focus of the study, should we still take it seriously?
You can find Greg on Instagram @gregnuckols, on his strongerbyscience.com, and on the Stronger by Science podcast. We kick it off by talking about life in 1920 vs 2020.
