Editorial method
How AION Editorial works
Every guide starts with a real programming decision Aion is designed to make, such as protecting the main work when time is short or changing an exercise when equipment is unavailable. We test the advice against those programming rules and cite primary research or authoritative guidance when a claim involves sleep, soreness, fatigue, pain, or safety.
AION Editorial does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment. Articles separate ordinary training constraints from symptoms that should stop a session or be discussed with a qualified professional. We review guidance when the product rules change, when stronger evidence becomes available, or when a correction is needed. Updated articles show their revised date in page metadata.
The byline represents the editorial organization, not a named person. Sources are listed on each article so readers can check the basis for themselves.
