Eighty percent of individuals with osteoporosis are women.
"And 80% of people with osteoporosis are women, because women generally, number one, start out with less bone mass, and there's also effects of, as you mentioned, estrogen is osteoprotective." (said at 0:04:08)
No published record matching the claim that 80% of individuals with osteoporosis are women was located; this does not prove the claim false.
Light-load resistance training taken with high effort activates and targets type 2 muscle fibers and high-threshold motor units.
"And it's been well documented that light-load training does target the type 2 fibers, which had been that was one of the myths. It used to be taught when I was an up-and-coming sports scientist that if you just use light loads, you would not activate the highest threshold motor units, which are associated with these type 2 fibers, and thus you would not optimize your strength and power and hypertrophy." (said at 0:53:43)
No published record matching the claim that light-load resistance training taken to high effort activates and targets type 2 muscle fibers and high-threshold motor units was located; this does not prove the claim false.
Approximately 50% of older individuals who suffer a hip fracture never regain full functional independence and die within two years.
"And studies show that individuals, older individuals, when they get a hip fracture, it's been a while since I've looked at the literature, I think it was 50% never recover full function and die within, I think, two years." (said at 0:56:35)
No published record matching the claim that approximately 50% of older individuals who suffer a hip fracture never regain full functional independence and die within two years was located; this does not prove the claim false.
A study comparing volume-matched resistance training performed over three days versus six days in young men showed greater biceps growth in the three-day group and no difference in other muscle groups.
"in young men, we had them doing either the same exact routine done over three days with more—so when they did it over three days, they performed more sets per session, so each session was twice as long, or else doing shorter sessions spread out over six days, the same exact routine. And no difference for most of the muscles, but we looked at the biceps, and the biceps growth was much greater in the group that did three days versus six days." (said at 1:20:50)
No published record matching the specific comparison of three-day versus six-day resistance training on biceps hypertrophy was fetched in full text; this does not prove the claim false.
The soleus muscle is composed of approximately 80% type I slow-twitch fibers.
"Now, interestingly, the soleus is a type I dominant fiber muscle; that's about 80% slow-twitch, type I fibers." (said at 1:47:48)
No published record matching the claim that the human soleus muscle is composed of approximately 80% type I slow-twitch fibers was located; this does not prove the claim false.
Increased flexibility reduces joint stability.
"gaining flexibility for the sake of gaining flexibility is is misguided because increased flexibility reduces the stability of the joint." (said at 1:23:40)
No published record matching the claim that gaining flexibility inherently reduces joint stability was located; this does not prove the claim false.
Unverified means no publication matching the claim was located; it does not prove the claim false. Spotted an error? See the corrections policy - disputes from the people quoted are prioritized.
