The only way to eliminate stored fat is burned. Now you know that exercise increases energy expenditure and energy expenditure is related to both the intensity and duration of activity. If exercise is intense, the duration of participation is necessarily shorter. While we are able to spend up to 125 calories in one mile every run we brisk walking or jogging at a comfortable pace for two miles and three times the calories without becoming exhausted. This concept explains why we moderate activity recommended, instead of intensive effort to control weight. The relationship of exercise calories helps explain why the benefits grow with a better physical condition. More Fitness offers more activity and more control over your weight.
The effects of exercise does not stop when people stop exercising. The oxygen consumption Excess post-exercise, the amount of rest after training level exceeds said spending a evevation prolonged post-exercise caloric. increased caloric expenditure for 30 minutes or more remaining after strenuous exercise. prolonged effort, as a race distance, the oxygen consumption and body temperature and increase the use of hormones mobilize energy and increase metabolism. On cessation of exercise, calorie consumption remains elevated above resting levels during the recovery period. The EPOC is often overlooked when the caloric benefits of exercise are tabulated.
Activity Versus Dieting
Some people believe that diet is better than exercise for weight control. They note, rightly, that it is easier to reduce calories Itaka refusing a piece of cake, that is to burn the cake after dinner, that would be more than 2 miles to 110 calories per mile jog. But considering the question “Is this system a better method of weight control?” The answer is available for more than 35 years, and the answer is no,
Oscai Holloszy and compared the effects of diet and exercise on body composition of laboratory rats. They controlled the experiment, so that both groups of equal weight. After 18 weeks of caloric restriction or the other or swim, they performed the analysis of the carcass.
The analysis indicated that the exercise was a more effective way to lose fat. Moreover, the study compelling evidence of protein-preserving effects of exercise, losing 5 percent protein for athletes, compared with 11 percent of dieters. The amount of water lost through caloric restriction was 16 percent for the athletes, compared with 26 percent of dieters. The loss of water, a phenomenon that occurs in dieters, accounts for the rapid success of most fad diets fail and veentual the overall objective, the loss of fat. A control group of sedentary freely eating animals gained weight during the study. Their weight gain was from 87 percent fat and 10 percent water. Can we generalize the results of this study in animals to humans?
A study of 16 obese patients compared with a period of six months of the scheme with a comparable period of diet and exercise. The exercise group achieved greater fat loss, exercise and other positive effects, including heart rate, lower resting and improve recovery of heart rate after exercise. And then 25 women have a deficit of 500 calories a day when a diet, exercise or a combination of both, all women have the same amount of weight lost, but the group plans have lost less fat and more lean tissue. The authors, who conducted the study recommended that those interested in losing weight on diet and exercise to combine into a greater loss of fat and lean tissue protection. A more recent study of 24 overweight women confirms the superiority of diet and exercise to reduce body fat and preserve lean tissue, compared with diet alone.
