#2...in the elderly. And across all tasks it's only half a standard deviation, meaning the result is far from significant. There are lots of good studies on positive effects of exercise in all sorts of ages and populations, but this is not one of them.
Edit: Jesus, this thread is proof than HN techies think they know math but actually have no clue about statistics. They are easy prey for this kind of journalism.

More complicated than that? Across all tasks, each was half a std dev higher. That's very significant?

Half a standard deviation is 8 IQ, and effect size has nothing to do with significance.

your response is proof once again, HN will go through any amount of mental gymnastics to avoid common sense on diet and exercise

#6Exercise just makes me feel good. To me, that's enough. Its not about a routine, or how I look, it's eustress.

What are you talking about? Statistical significance is directly calculated from effect size and standard deviation.

I'm the opposite - exercise makes me feel terrible both physically (exhausting) and mentally (boredom), both during and after. I've never experienced "runner's high" or the similar feeling some people describe from lifting weights.
If it wasn't for the health and aesthetic benefits, I'd choose to never to exercise again.

Find something that you enjoy. I hate running but I love boxing.
