Exercise Science Editorial Process · Editorial Process
PlainExercise is a structured exercise science reference portal. The editorial process draws on NIH/NLM MeSH terminology, peer-reviewed exercise science literature, CDC physical activity guidelines, and open-licensed public exercise datasets (Free Exercise DB) to compile and frame a consistent, navigable taxonomy of human movement. Content is compiled by our editorial process from official source data; the team does not accept payment from any covered entity, equipment brand, or training platform. PlainExercise publishes educational reference material, not medical, physical-therapy, or personal-training advice.
