but I didn't pay any attention about that since I am not doing that kind of things anyway.
Eric Poehlman is not a big gun in general but definitely a major player in physical activity. I believe the charge is for series of studies such as this "Effects of endurance and resistance training on total daily energy expenditure in young women: a controlled randomized trial" J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2002 Mar;87(3):1004-9.
Endurance training has been shown beneficial because it increase resting metabolic rate by increasing the muscle mass. Theoretically it is true and is a hot area in physical activity research. Poehlman ET's studies are several postive studies you can find. I fully understand the disappointment of negative findings and pressure to recruit enough participants.
There are many other studies have supported this conclusion. But Poehlem's misconduct definitely misleads researchers.
