Surprised at that finding. It will be interesting to see future studies that look at the effect to see if it holds up.
i've always suspected that was the case cuz i've heard lots of stories of long distance runners developing degenerative conditions. it's a high impact activity after all, both to your joints and to your cardiovascular system. then again, maybe i'm just rationalizing my recent streak of lazing out of hitting the gym XD
The main problem is that sample sizes are large in the "less exercise" groups, which means they have a statistically significant reduction in mortality, but they are tiny in the "more exercise" groups, which means they don't have a statistically significant reduction in mortality. This allows the authors to make the shamefully disingenuous argument that "strenuous joggers have a mortality rate not statistically different from that of the sedentary group"–which is almost a foregone conclusion, given that the sample size is less than a tenth as large.(Emphasis mine) And I thought this was funny:
Yes, the conclusion of the study (that "strenuous" jogging is as bad as being sedentary) is based on two deaths over more than a decade of follow-up. (Thank goodness a third person didn't die, or public health authorities would be banning jogging.)

Sorry, I'm all about the sniping.
Well this was super ultimate baddassery mode, or whatever it was, so it was not trivial to say the least.

I don't recall having many issues with Pete when I solo'd him, but it's possible he gets disproportionately tougher if you tackle him with a full team.
