My kid has ADHD and his teachers keep punishing him for not getting work done by taking away recess. I can’t seem to get it through to them that it’s counterproductive.

Sadly, where I live the outside humidity is even higher than indoors, so running ventilation fans inside only increases total humidity as that air gets replaced.

Edit: if it’s sufficiently cold out, the rise in temp when the outside air warms up can make the ventilation idea work at higher humidity levels, but in Houston this still doesn’t work out very often

In the long run, you are absolutely correct.

There is a transitional period of a few months to a couple of years where you’ve stopped training but haven’t completely lost the adaptations to strength and endurance yet, so perhaps you could tell the difference during that time period. I doubt this type of study can tease that apart, though.

It’s the best kind of exercise. Sitting at a desk all day every day then going for a jog three times a week is a poor approximation of being active.

Now, that job isn’t the best form of strength training, so it depends on your goals.
