Evidence made practical.
Without oversimplifying the science.

What these articles are for

Most fitness content online is written to be shared rather than to be right. A striking claim travels further than a careful one, so the advice that reaches you is selected for how surprising it sounds, not for how well it holds up.

These articles are written the other way round. They start from what the research actually shows, including the parts that are inconvenient or unresolved, and translate it into something you can use without a physiology degree.

How they are written

Three rules apply to everything published here.

1. The strength of the evidence is stated. There is a real difference between a finding replicated across many studies and one promising result, and you are told which you are reading about.
2. Nothing is oversimplified into being wrong. Where the honest answer is that it depends, the article says so and explains what it depends on.
3. Practical implications are separated from the science. You should be able to read what to do without wading through mechanism, and read the mechanism if you want it.

Who they are for

They are written for people who train and want to understand what they are doing: clients wanting background on their own programme, and anyone trying to work out whether something they read elsewhere is true. No prior knowledge is assumed, and technical terms are explained where they first appear.

What they are not

These articles are general education, not personal advice. They cannot account for your health history, medication, injuries or circumstances, and they are not a substitute for a programme written for you or for medical advice.
