Close, but there's another flaw in bro-scientists' reasoning, especially among certain critics: >=6 METs on average, depending on the variance, is roughly 8–9.

Sort:  

It's an open category, since a lognormal distribution must be about 1 md higher than the floor
1/2

In the episode, hosts highlight UK Biobank accelerometer data showing vigorous activity (≥6 METs) offers ~4–10x greater risk reductions for mortality, CVD, diabetes, and cancer versus moderate activity, emphasizing the potency of short bursts

This supports the view that high-intensity efforts deliver outsized benefits, countering the critique that the "vigorous" cutoff (e.g., a 15‑min‑mile jog) is too mild to truly separate hard from easy exercise
