In this episode we look at a few pieces of recent research that focus on how knowledgeable both health and fitness professionals and average gym goers are on a variety of topics. We break down the results, but we also challenge the quality of questions the researchers asked in their assessments.

We spend the bulk of the time on this survey by researchers from the University of Klagenfurt's (Austria) Institute of Sports Science.

We compare it to research done by another Austrian team where they instead focus on health professionals (physical therapists, sports scientists, and coaches).

Finally, we discussed a similar study among American health and fitness professionals looking at exercise prescription across a wide range of experience and education levels.

We get pretty deep in the weeds in this episode, so tune in if some research discussion is up your alley!
