Stack Exchange — fitness.stackexchange.com

The content of fitness.stackexchange.com (https://fitness.stackexchange.com/), a Stack Exchange question-and-answer site, as published in the Stack Exchange Data Dump of April 2024 on the Internet Archive. The posts table holds 74,411 rows: 29,704 posts (10,217 questions, 19,171 answers, 154 tag wiki excerpts, 154 tag wikis, 7 posts of type 6 and 1 post of type 7) and 44,707 comments, written between 1 March 2011 and 30 March 2024. Beside it are 28,890 user accounts, 116,840 votes, 48,426 badges awarded, 407 tags, 78,888 post revisions and 3,357 links between posts. Every answer keeps the question it answers and every comment the post it was written on, so the threads can be rebuilt. The Internet Archive item describes the dump as anonymised; the votes table names the voter in only 204 rows.
