Sure, if you have specific information about the people polled and the general makeup of the population, you can extrapolate these results. I didn't see that it's happening here, it's just the results of a specific group who

The Apple Watch claims to estimate VO2 max based on casual activities such as walking, which is a great feature for people who aren't already athletes. However, in my experience it is very inaccurate. When I first got my Apple Watch, I
