The Truth About Endurance Sports and Weight Loss: Debunking Traditional Wisdom

And it also sounds logical: Anyone who runs for hours uses up more calories than someone whose sporting performance is over following ten seconds. Generations of those wanting to lose weight have therefore declared endurance sports to be their means of choice. And in fact, sport with a high calorie consumption was considered the best, even the only effective way to get rid of kilos, even among experts. But a recent study is now doing away with this traditional wisdom.
