i never said that the study you showed didnt show a greater benefit to longevity for vo2 max groups
what i said was...you get a lot of that from strength training and the roi when factoring in quality of life is better. from strictly a numbers point, your study trumps anything..
but when factoring in roi of quality of life, aesthetics whatever it falls short imo.
and no you are not going to change my mind, nor do i really care that much to even want to change my opinion
but ill say this...if both strength training and endurance training both get us to 70+...which one do you feel is going to give us a better quality of life? which one would have the better metabolic benefit over the long haul? which one would have us looking better and being able to complete every day task? which one would we still be able to reasonably continue to do?
thats how i look at things

I agree that it’s vital to stay strong as well and resistance train throughout life. But it’s not a zero sum game as you are implying, you can be both strong, fit from a cardio respiratory perspective, and mobile in 4-5 hours a week. About 2 hours for 2 full body workouts and the rest devoted to relatively easy cardio. Anybody doing a PPSA program is spending that much time in the gym so it’s not an extreme amount of time
