any amount of running already excludes all the people who can't run. how do they control for that?

  Is it supposed to be an independent variable? Seems given that people who can run are already over the hump by default.

    This is a meta-analysis of many other studies of varying quality. There are many limitations, including the inclusion of a study that did not show effect , exclusion of people with heart disease problems etc. They are described in their discussion section here: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2019/09/25/bjsports-2018-100493 https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2019/09/25/bjsports-2018-... this seems to put a few grains of salt in this all-or-none preclamation
