I disagree. Imo this is mostly true of running and bodybuilding... where the average person is most likely to encounter "programming." A "gotcha" with minimum dose is that you need to precisely define the goal. "Minimum effective" to build muscle or cardio might not be sufficient to build "habits" or whatnot. A short, daily warmup might be the minimum effective dose for habit building. Physiologically, 20 minutes every 10th day training heavy deadlifting... will be effective. But this will probably be below effective does for habit forming, and other psychological/behavioral changes.
