Why so? Surely, if the correlation is explicitly with leg power rather than endurance or general fitness, then anaerobic exercise (squats, deadlifts, lunges, le

  That's why I wish they were more explicit when defining the kind of exercise the subjects were engaged in. My comment was primarily from personal experience. When I did my anaerobic exercise when I used to train, it was heavily anaerobic, where I would do a lot of short bursts of heavy lifting. Later I transitioned to primarily focus on aerobic, where I did a lot of distance swimming. So I think I had a good amount of both extremes to at least provide some insights. Everyone's experience will likely be slightly different. My hunch, though, is a lot of people who do lifting still get aerobic benefits because they're not training as intensely. So I think I'm speaking more about the extremes of the two types of exercise and not a middle ground.

    I agree with you. This is a very good question to ask. If this is from extremely intense workouts, then I would say very few would benefit.
