Your second paragraph is a great point, and makes me wonder how much to adjust downward the post’s main “why care?” argument (that 1 additional point in VO2max ~ 10% lower annual all-cause mortality). It’s less clear to me how to convert marginal improvements in my sport of choice to marginal reduction in all-cause mortality though.
