I worry your third paragraph is mostly correlation: conditioned on someone being able to do a lot of push ups they are likely to be healthy and active rather than just someone who trains push ups.
- nick__m 5y agoI am pretty sure that the firefighters in that 10y long study are already likely to be healthy and active. But your argument is sounds and it's only one health study, so I should have said correlated. But in my defense I used the same terminology as the article I linked to. edit: I did not used the terminology from the articles but I said correlated instead of predictor... I should have re-read my post before replying... anyway I agree with you ;)
