> I understand the desire to investigate stuff like this, but for 90%+ of people, every inquiry in to "most optimal way to not be debilitating unhealthy" is just a waste of time.
95% of people won't program their exercise based on random studies, so I'm not sure what the conflict is.
>almost all of the war is in getting people wanting to improve, and very little of it is in the how to do it.
This is ultra naive. In the long term, 'wanting to improve' has to translate into compliance. getting people to want to improve is a short term thing that changes when you have to get up an hour early to run and shower, or whatever they choose.
Getting people to comply long term is incredibly difficult. You can succeed in getting people to want to change and still fail long term compliance and get nothing.
>Maybe that's just me, but I feel like we're searching for our keys under streetlight here.
I don't think 'we' are one group, looking at only one group, for one particular reason. 'we' are an entire world full of people doing research for different reasons on different things.
