Power analyses indicated that sample sizes were sufficient to detect a 4.2% difference in mean TEE (Hadza vs. Western, α = 0.05) in comparisons among women (power 97%) and 7.6% difference among men (power 93%).
So the Hanza people used more energy than westerners but I guess if you can just say 7.6% more energy is not significant then I guess it isn’t.
The paper you linked is literally saying the people that move more burn more calories.
And this is why I linked the article first instead of the paper.
The line you’re quoting is the authors explaining they have a large enough sample size to detect differences. They could detect a 4.2% difference in their sampling of women with 97% confidence, at a 5% significance threshold. They are saying they are extremely confident they would be able to detect a difference, but didn’t.
