About Movement
Readers here learn to read an exercise claim the way a researcher would: who was studied, what the comparison group did, which numbers were reported and which were added later by someone else. Start with the consistency guide for the framework, then use the protocol guides for something concrete to try.
This section covers movement the way the research does: named protocols with published numbers, honest effect sizes, and an explicit note wherever a popular claim runs ahead of the evidence. You will find what a study prescribed, what its participants actually did, and which outcomes were measured rather than assumed.
