Suppose plasma volume falls immediately after exercise while interstitial water rises equally and total body water stays constant, with both compartments returning to baseline during recovery.

You're right that timing doesn't identify adaptation if groups received different exercise doses. The title alone doesn't show whether repetitions, load, work, or rest were recorded, so those variables need checking alongside the sampling schedule before interpreting phenotype differences.
What counted as stable exercise during follow-up?
A report on outcomes in low-risk HCM patients who maintained stable exercise habits raises a measurement question: what counted as stable across follow-up? Repeated measures of frequency, intensity, duration, and interruptions would support a sustained-exposure interpretation, while a baseline measure alone would not show whether habits remained unchanged. The definition also matters for separating adaptation associated with continued activity from short-term responses around individual exercise sessions.
Recovery timing in acute exercise biomarker studies
For the reported bone phenotypes, which biomarker measurements were collected after a defined recovery interval rather than immediately after ballistic loaded exercise? That timing determines whether the comparison concerns an acute response or an early adaptation signal.
