Wrong information about 10 air squats every 45 minutes

There was a recent YouTube short post about 10 air squats every 45 minutes being better than a 30 minute walk.

The abstract of this study is misleading and this information is wrong.

If you read the actual protocol in the study it states:

"Participants engaged in 3-min bouts of squat-ting following a soundtrack every 45min, 10 times throughout the day, accumulating a total of 30min of activity. The soundtrack beeped every 5s, and the first bout commenced at 1:00 into the experiment."

No hate or anything but since people are basing their health decisions on this information I thought I would correct it.

Also the study was on obese men. An air squat for a 350lb man will be a significantly higher level of effort than the average person this study should NOT be used as a guide for most people anyways.
