- people with a lifestyle of constant movement despite not exercising the recommended amount per week were healthier than those who did not but frequently idled outside of that

The limit of studies
But this is like a danger and a trap–kind of living off of an abstract. A lot of things in small studies don’t actually translate to the real world […] You can’t underestimate the value of, like, personal experience when that vastly outnumbers the small study that is available.
Dr. Maxfield and Dr. Shah talk more about their experiences with treating hundreds of patients and the results they get versus the results smaller scale laboratory-limited studies get in the linked video above. It helps illustrate how studies should not be the sole results to consider when doing personal research. It’s tempting to completely dismiss personal anecdotes altogether in favor of scientific studies, but this overlooks the limits that scientific studies are often prey to.
