# Alpha memo: Metformin Impairs the Cardiorespiratory Fitness Adaptation to High-Intensity Power Training in Older Adults With Type 2

Hypothesis-level alpha signal; not clinical advice.
**Alpha hypothesis:** In metformin exercise training adaptation older adults trial, direct human randomized trial receipts support a bounded negative and null signal across dose and risk; treat it as hypothesis-level until the same population and endpoint are replicated.

**Signal score:** `100` (novelty `53`, evidence `100`)

**Evidence bridge:** metformin, older, diabete, adult.

**Tension:** negative, positive.

**Evidence graph:**
- 10.1016/j.hlc.2022.06.010 - primary (strongest direct human evidence)
- 10.2337/db25-1998-lb - boundary (boundary context for evidence graph)

**Receipt roles:**
- 10.1016/j.hlc.2022.06.010 - negative_signal (direct human reversal)

**Claim ledger:**
- 10.1016/j.hlc.2022.06.010 - negative_signal; design=randomized trial; population=human; outcome=unspecified; direction=negative; support=direct/high
- 10.2337/db25-1998-lb - boundary; design=randomized trial; population=human; outcome=dose and risk; direction=negative and null; support=direct/high

**Why it matters:**
This is a receipt-bound lead for investigation: two independent search hits share a non-obvious bridge term, so the memo can test whether that bridge explains a boundary condition or a new angle.

**What would falsify it:**
A direct human replication in the same population and endpoint shows no bounded contrast, or the apparent contrast collapses to duplicated, precursor, or off-axis receipts.

**Safety note:** This memo is an alpha hypothesis. A later LLM writer may sharpen prose, but it may not add claims beyond the receipts above.
