We Asked College Students 100 Exercise Science Questions… It Got Brutal
In a Nutshell
Dr. Mike from RP Strength quizzed six Florida International University students (mostly non-exercise science majors) on 100 exercise science questions, categorized as easy, moderate, and hard. They excelled on basics like compound exercises, calorie surpluses for fat gain, progressive overload, and consistency over perfection, while nailing moderates on sleep quality, effective reps near failure, and 0.5-1% weekly fat loss rates; harder ones tripped them up, like collagen's tryptophan deficiency and thermic effect of protein (20-30%). FIU ranked well against other schools, highlighting strong general knowledge but gaps in advanced topics like steroids and supplements.
