'Fat but fit' may be a myth, researchers say
- kesselvon 11y agoIt was a never a truth to begin with, really. Even the original study was rather controversial in its results. Fat but 'fit' is a transitory state between healthy weight and fit or obesity and unfit; eventually all that weight will catch up with you.
- DrScump 11y agoThe WP author here confuses correlation with causation. Both obesity and fitness response to cardio (e.g. measured by VO2Max) have genetic factors (many obese people are genetically low-responders to cardio). See the recent University of Bath study for details.
