Fitness Findings Friday - 10/2/2026

What does the newest exercise science say about creatine, eccentric training, cardio, balance, and knee osteoarthritis? In this week’s Posh Fitness Exercise Science Brief, I break down five meaningful new findings and explain what they actually mean for training, recovery, muscle, and healthy aging. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why creatine continues to stand out as one of the best supported supplements for resistance training • How the repeated bout effect changes the way we should introduce eccentric training • Why combining cardio and strength training may be less conflicting than once thought • Why balance deserves to be trained as its own physical quality, especially with aging • How resistance training intensity should be adjusted for knee osteoarthritis based on whether the goal is pain reduction, function, or strength The bigger message is simple, good programming is not about chasing one perfect method. It is about matching the right tool, load, and training style to the right person and goal. I’m Peter Marino with Posh Fitness. Each week, I review new research in resistance training, hypertrophy, functional aging, recovery, mobility, and performance, then translate it into practical coaching takeaways.
