42 research-tied claims examined: 1 overstated 3 context 35 supported 3 unverified
3 No source found (not proven false)
Baseline blood lactate levels in individuals at rest are typically around 0.9 to 1.0 mM.
"people can have different baseline lactate levels for one, which is typically around 0.9 to 1 millimolar generally speaking." (said at 0:02:50)
No published record matching baseline resting blood lactate concentrations of approximately 0.9 to 1.0 mM was located; this does not prove the claim false.
On average, each 1 mL/kg/min increase in VO2 max is associated with a 45-day increase in life expectancy.
"On average, each unit increase in VO2 max—so that's 1 milliliter per kilogram per minute—is associated with a 45-day increase in life expectancy." (said at 0:07:09)
No published record matching the claim that each 1 mL/kg/min increase in VO2 max is associated with a 45-day increase in life expectancy was located; this does not prove the claim false.
In a study involving only men, each 10 mL/kg/min increase in VO2 max was associated with a 17% lower risk of cancer death and an 11% lower all-cause mortality.
"In another study involving only men, for every 10-unit increase in VO2 max—so this would be then 10 mL per kilogram per minute—there was a 17% lower risk of death from cancer and an 11% lower all-cause mortality, so dying from many different non-accidental causes of death." (said at 0:07:20)
No published record matching the specific risk reductions (a 17% reduction in cancer mortality and an 11% reduction in all-cause mortality per 10 mL/kg/min increase in directly measured VO2 max in an all-male cohort) 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.
