Made me smile initially but the eventual true findings are really depressing.

Re: Sly children fool exercise study
pedometers are so rubbish anyway, you can just shake them and they count a step!

That explains how some men have overdeveloped forearms. Try to fool the pedometer by constantly shaking them.  Does that cause hair growth on the palms of hands too.
