There are also many studies done in the past by qualified researchers and your average YouTuber gym Bro concerning this very subject. was the sample/control significant? Some would argue diet is actually more important than either the amount/intensity if exercise along with recovery time.

Re: New connections between circadian rhythm and muscle repair
#23>Peek and her team found that muscle repair after injury was greater when mice were active or awake compared to when they were inactive or resting. This isn't the result I was expecting. That's very counterintuitive
If you consider it fully, you may change your mind. The bodies natural cycle in sleep is not intended for muscle repair. So it makes sense that it does not suddenly become the prime concern during sleep. Muscles get better oxygenation and fluid exchange when they are being used, pumped, and this helps remove lactic acid and deliver nutrients.the same can be said of the lymphatic system which you can look into. Lookin…

You say that, but there's a lot of evidence showing that poor sleep is correlated with poor recovery from training. Top tier athletes also carefully manage their sleep schedules.

Read the whole comment, I think that's addressed.
The sleep cycle is a regular maintenance routine. The whole body functions more efficiently with proper sleep. Sleep as a bodily function is not intended to repair serious injury. Otherwise, when people became injured they would fall asleep, except we don't fall asleep when injured. We become hyper vigilant and produce adrenaline.
So certainly there's correlation, but the broader picture 'makes sense' and is not counterintuitive

When somebody cites a source, it's always relevant to point out that it's a bad source. I also found useful this discussion of the topic: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2020/03/24/why-we-sle...
The source of an argument irrelevant to the soundness of an argument, otherwise it's an example of the genetic fallacy, a form of ad hominem, a fallacy of relevance.
That's technically true about argument in some specific contexts. But it isn't in practice true a lot of the time, and is especially irrelevant here when it's not just citing it for an argument, but as proof of the argument.
