Do you see any interesting information coming out of that exercise study/trial?
I'm not saying there is no useful information to be plucked out from it, I'm just curious if there is any and what it is.

I certainly take your point about the treatment looking arbitrary and not fully generalizable to much of the training universe. However, this is not like comparing standard dosages of two drugs. The dosing parameter space for exercise is multi-dimensional and not very well explored, so coming up with equivalent doses of cycling and resistance training is pretty hard. Therefore, don’t really see the choices as “wrong.”
As for the actual resistance program chosen, “newb gains” are real.
