Quiz Notes
To recreate the kettlebell swing study, here's the weight you'd use:
• Men with a body mass over 70 kg (154 pounds) used a 16-kg (35 pound) kettlebell.
• Men with a body mass under 70 kg (154 pounds) used a 12-kg (26 pound) kettlebell.
The researchers didn't study women, but if you're a weight-training woman, chances are, you can use the same weight kettlebells as the male subjects from this study... if not more.
